Asked who owns reliability when an agent makes a mistake, Nunez predicts that engineers will stop being able to blame the agent, and that docs will get named owners like code repos do.
Yeah.
And or the agent is trying to figure it out and it's making mistakes because of documentation. And so you almost don't realize how bad it is until something goes wrong.
Yeah. And we have been in a period of the last couple years where you're allowed to blame Claude. You're allowed to blame the agents if something goes wrong. But as a few performance review cycles come around, people realize like, oh, I own reliability and my team's docs went down or some other team's docs caused it that were written by Claude, but I own reliability. I'm getting dinged in performance reviews. All of a sudden, they're going to start to care. Things aren't going to be as like as laissez-faire and YOLO as before of just like trading, you know, blindly trading what Claude says, blindly publishing it, because now you're responsible. So that's the when people ask me about docs, like what tool should we use? What should we do a style guide? I'm like, start with accountability because if you put a name to a doc set, just like a code base or a repo, people will figure it out how to care. And the next step of that is during performance reviews, like put it on the job ladder. Like, are you responsible for the documentation? People will figure it out. It will all cascade. Like, smart people will figure it out. And I think that's just kind of been blown up the last…
Yeah. Well, and that, whereas before, when if or when Claude or Astra or whatever it may be, Codex causes the incident, it's kind of like, oh, because I was testing the limits of the coding agent. And now that's not an excuse. Like, you have to still be an engineer and you have to be the owner of…
Yeah, exactly. Especially if you're B2B, like no, like the there are contracts at stake. There's compliance audits. There's like hard stuff at stake where it's not like, you know, the customer's going to be like, ah, yeah, it got us too. No, you have to figure out a way to paper over GitHub if it's…
are some other tricks or ways that you've seen it done well that you've said put names to the accountability? Just have a document that says who owns what, and that will figure itself out. Another one is put owners on documentation. Are there other things that you've seen to work well?
