Honest question for OSS maintainers: what percentage of the PRs you review this month were from someone who actually read the code they changed?
GitHub shipped a kill switch for pull requests. That should tell you everything about where this is headed.

I haven't written code in months (probably for the best). Five of us build swamp, none of us write code manually.
The job got bigger, not smaller. The code was never the job — the understanding was.

The Code Was Never the Job
Five of us build swamp. None of us write code. Agents write it, review it, test the binary. The work didn't shrink — it shifted to the decisions that were always the most valuable.

Agents open PRs in our repo. The diff is untrusted input flowing into models with merge authority. This is what dealing with agentic PRs actually looks like — multiple scoped AI reviews, each with a different job, including auditing changes to the pipeline itself.

Policy as Code: Automating Bureaucracy, One YAML Rule at a Time
Policy as Code promised safety, but delivered bureaucracy. System Initiative bakes compliance into the system itself — no YAML cops, just infrastructure that’s right by default.

I sorted every agent tool into two buckets: can git checkout undo it, or does it touch something external?
Eliminated 90% of permission prompts. Kept the ones that matter like gh pr create.

I've been writing about how AI agents changed my work. Stopped typing code, started making better decisions, how we are building swamp with agents doing all the implementation.
The fear is real. The shift is real. The difference is structure.

Take the Leap Before You Are Pushed
The fear of AI replacing your work is real. So is the shift. The teams that build structure around agents instead of resisting or rushing find the job gets better, not smaller.
