AI may have no skin in the game.

But it will work all night and on weekends. It never gets sick. It never forgets to do something. And as far as I can tell, it does it best work all the time.

That's enough skin for me.

You can’t really just redefine “skin in the game” to be “constant iterative code generation”.

Engineers (builders) who recognize that there is a difference in assigning a task to a human and a task to an agent will have a competitive advantage over those who don’t. That’s not to say that agents can’t be used at all, only that how they’re used is critical.

I wish that were true. Even Opus 5.5 still ignores instructions and finds things it missed on a daily basis.
