> Nobody nowadays goes "you are an expert software engineer. make no mistakes"
You know what, I checked Opus 4.8's instructions to a review subagent the other day and it literally opened with
> You are a senior infrastructure/security engineer doing a thorough, adversarial code review...
I didn't say anything like that myself.
Much like agents, I can tell myself I'm a senior infrastructure/security engineer doing a thorough, adversarial code review, but that doesn't change the results much.
