Eventually whoever is responsible to fix prod incidents and maintain has the ownership. And I agree that’s pretty messy in a world where agents are crossing those boundaries. Will the AI engineer with their horde of agents be responsible to keep everything running? I really doubt so, but we will see

There's a mistaken assumption under there that businesses can identify who that statement describes.

Some can. But a lot of businesses cannot identify and reward, or support, or just not RIF, those people. Like a lot a lot. More than I'm comfortable lumping under statements like "well those are just bad places to work/places that should be shut down".

There's no punchline or counterproposal there; that's just my observation.
