I don't think the model of agents writing code and humans standing in the way to approve it has much of a future. Whatever review and steering happens, it shouldn't really slow agents down. I haven't been doing much Ruby lately. The last substantial PRs I reviewed were weeks ago, and even before that, I'd been spending less and less time reviewing implementation details. I think my recent experiences building things in languages I don't know, like Kotlin and Rust, will only accelerate that trend.
