From a thread of AI engineering practice quotes: Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke says "We are now all verification engineers. We are building harnesses, we are building acceptance tests" — with AI writing code, the human's core job shifts to verification.
Also in the thread, Notion's Sarah Sachs describes an agent that, after a failed edit, opened a browser and typed into Notion like a human: "Models don't give up. And that's not always good."
