My reply to Earning Judgment, Addy Osmani's essay on what junior engineers lose when agents take the reps, and his answer.
JoshiOnChainthis reframes the junior problem. the reps were never the point, they were where judgment got installed for free. now reps are cheap and judgment is the scarce part, so you have to seek the friction on purpose. reviewing what an agent produced is the new place you earn it.
Addy Osmani replied
He agreed that in some cases code review is the new rep, with one catch. Nobody assigns it to you anymore, so you have to opt in to reading the diffs you could have just accepted.
