I’m doubtful. I’ve seen increasing hands-off work where bots are now replying on PRs, tickets, and even DMs!


I'm not trying to be rude. Is this new to you? I've had all of this plugged in myself for all of 2026 (at least). The LLMs use of APIs shouldn't be surprising once you see decent ones in action in general. I'm not sure how this would impact my thoughts on whether the pendulum will swing one way or not.


This is new to me (last 6 months or so). What I’m observing is people growing lazy. I think it will take a while for it to swing back because momentum is still in the wrong direction.


Yeah, reality is this fall/winter is when we start seeing the shift from "engineer guides claude on their laptop" to "PMs write tickets and everything else is hands off until pressing the merge button".
