There is a sentence my coding agent used to say that I now read as a warning light.

You are completely right.

For months I took it as a compliment. The machine agreed with me, so I figured I was onto something. I would describe a plan, watch the agent call it a strong plan, and go build it.

If you work with an AI agent every day, you have heard your own version of this. Smart call. Solid approach. That makes a lot of sense. Each one is the machine nodding along while you talk.

It feels good. That is the problem.
