## Summary

Santiago (@svpino) argues that people who have never coded lack the habits of manual code review, so they must automate reviewing what they ship with agents. He says the disadvantage becomes an advantage that forces automation, while experienced developers find it hard to abandon older methods. A reply from a non-coder says agents catching bugs before testing would save hours.

It's interesting to think about how little baggage people who've never coded before bring to this agentic era.

If you haven't coded before, you can't waste time doing manual code reviews, so you need to use agents to review what you ship.

Your disadvantage becomes sort of an advantage that forces you to automate the process.

It takes mountains for people who did the work before to let go of all methods and embrace the new ways.

> @svpino as someone who can't code, manually reviewing it was never an option for me lol. I test on my phone and screenshot what's broken. an agent catching bugs before I even test would save me hours
