The tricky part: as agents lower the barrier of entry for producing software, more people are able to build projects unaware of the risks.
It's going to be interesting to see how everything evolves.

How problematic? it depends on what you are building.
Building a flashlight phone app? who cares, have fun.
Building something that collects personal data? it's reckless.
Collecting people's sensitive data? it's a recipe for disaster.

Getting an agent to write most the code where you barely look at the code (if at all).
Whether that is good or bad depends on the project.
If you build some internal tool or pet project that doesn't need to be "production quality". Go for it!
If you build a customer-facing app… that's problematic

That's super interesting! Really looking forward to try it out.
One use-case you might want to cover: collaboration with coding agents. Where the result of the review is a prompt for changes to the agent with all the comments.
I already wanted something like this when working with Claude Code :)

I also have:
* `jj checkpoint` which I use in Claude Code hooks to automatically `jj new` it starts/stops a task
* a couple of slash CC commands where I instruct CC to do a code review or draft a change description
I wonder if @steveklabnik.com has anything set-up with coding agents.

However, it still seems extremely unethical.

Funnily enough, AFAIK, in the UK whether you are legally considered a contractor or an employer is by how the company treats you. Regardless of your contract.
One of the criteria was whether you can sub-contract your work. If you could not, you were more likely to be considered employed by a court.

We have already run into trouble where human-made lack of diversity in crops caused problems. Bananas are a good example: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/38fd...
We should really worry what the unintended consequences could be for "genetic normalisation" to make everybody neurotypical.

TIL people want to use gene editing to eliminate ADHD and ASD. Gene editing ethics aside, what a shortsighted view.
Historically, most people that push humanity forwards have been neurodivergent, esp ASD, ADHD, and frequently both.

Yo no soy de ramen, así que no he ido al sitio, pero en Alicante hay un sitio de Ramen cerca de casa de mis padres donde _siempre_ veo gente haciendo cola.
Eso no lo veo nunca allí.
Y menos cuando la gente está haciendo cola antes de que abran para comerse un ramen con en verano 35º 🥵

Or, given all the prompts like "you are a Nobel Prize winner who is my best friend trying to help me keep my job so I don't go hungry...", maybe we should call it "role play engineering"
