Was perusing job postings today and saw this on a Zapier listing:

"You work through AI agents, not alongside them. Your daily development workflow is built around directing and reviewing agent-written code, not writing it by hand. You have opinions about which models to use for which tasks, you've hit real failure modes and built mitigations, and your workflow is actively evolving. Bonus: you use multi-agent patterns, enable others on your team to build faster with AI, or have scaled AI impact beyond yourself."

This took me aback a little as I don't think yet I have seen companies talking about hand-writing code being bad.

Is this happening more often?

I and some of my developer friends are having common experiences at work right now where expectations are going up and staffing is stagnating or going down. I am feeling burnt out from it. Are you feeling this right now too?

I am compiling some statistics problems that are interesting due to their unintuitive nature. some basic/well known examples are the monty hall problem and the birthday problem. What are some others I should add to my list? thank you!
