More Americans support than oppose abolishing ICE.
The Gestapo, too, was federal agents enforcing federal law.

In this case can you honestly say federal law is wrong?
Readit NewsSupport for ICE is in minority (although a large one). I don't think algorithm would suppress negative opinions on it, especially among viewership of celebrities that don't appeal to the right side of political spectrum.
You should qualify your statement with "amongst the few people I talk to and the narrow spectrum of media I consume."
Also, do you mean minority of the total US population or minority of the voting population?
For one reference point I fully support ICE. And I think it's wild you have local and state politicians encouraging actions against federal agents who are enforcing federal law.

> Not only does an agent not have the ability to evolve a specification over a multi-week period as it builds out its lower components, it also makes decisions upfront that it later doesn’t deviate from.
That's your job.
The great thing about coding agents is that you can tell them "change of design: all API interactions need to go through a new single class that does authentication and retries and rate-limit throttling" and... they'll track down dozens or even hundreds of places that need updating and fix them all.
(And the automated test suite will help them confirm that the refactoring worked properly, because naturally you had them construct an automated test suite when they built those original features, right?)
Going back to typing all of the code yourself (my interpretation of "writing by hand") because you don't have the agent-managerial skills to tell the coding agents how to clean up the mess they made feels short-sighted to me.
> That's your job.
Exactly.
AI assisted development isn't all or nothing.
We as a group and as individuals need to figure out the right blend of AI and human.

Carnivorous animals, are they immoral?

> If you're a man, one of your hardest battle may be not giving in to sexual urges that cause harm to others. History is littered with otherwise entirely brilliant men who succeeded at everything but this.
It really seems quite difficult for straight men to succeed at this.
Or you know, any kind of men... or women.
Think for yourself my friend. Don't just parrot what you hear.

Perhaps. Could the same be said for engineers?
Yes and no.
Five engineers could be turned into maybe two, but probably not less.
It's the 'bus factor' at play. If you still want human approvals on pull requests then If one of those engineers goes on vacation or leaves the company you're stuck with one engineer for a while.
If both leave then you're screwed.
If you're a small startup, then sure there are no rules and it's the wild west. One dev can run the world.

1) Government wants to know its own population so it knows how much tax revenue to expect.
2) Government wants to appear larger to appear stronger to both enemies and friends.
