Wonder if any tech company will make a long-term bet on engineer comprehension. While other costs of agentic coding will reduce as models, harness, and skills improve, those are not designed to impact SWE comprehension. There’s currently no measurement of it or attempt to improve it.

Would probably live under a platform or developer experience team? Something baked into pull requests and pre-commit hooks maybe? Would probably get the best junior engineers to apply.

Seniors too - as would be good signal to other things.
