Agentic coding and mental models

Engineers are under increasing pressure to automate more with agentic tooling. I think that's wrong but I don't see many people making the case against it. So I wrote this post to try to push back against the against the prevailing narrative. Our mental models are important and should not be sacrificed. This is not an anti-AI post, it's about how to use them sustainably instead.
