Proved verification-as-moat in working engineers' language
Orosz's 2026 "slow down to speed up when working with AI agents" names the exact tension: agents now ship 2x+ the code, so the constraint moves from writing to verifying — making tests, observability, and evals the real engineering moat rather than a tax. The Pragmatic Engineer is where that case reaches more than a million working engineers, sponsorship-free.
