Opus 5.5 is a better software developer than 99% of developers.
The craftsmen engineers are resisting, but there's not much time left to adapt.
The work now is not development, not even code review. If you review every change AI makes, then the productivity gain is quite limited, and you are the bottleneck.
The real work is building verifiable systems that agents are FORCED to use.
Give AI the tools to verify its work, make it do so deterministically, and you end up with results that are certain.
It's kind of like playing a game of Factorio, rather than software engineering of old.
Check pstack by Lauren Tan for awesome verification skills that will help you get verifiable outputs from your agents. Link in comments.
