Original: Why are good developers so wary of agentic development?

It argues that skilled developers' skepticism stems from the gap between AI-generated code and the judgment, testing discipline and system understanding that good engineering requires.

Why now: Debate over AI coding agents is intensifying across the software industry, and the piece voices practitioners' concerns.
