The Job Isn't Writing Code. It's Knowing When the AI Is Wrong.

I use an AI coding agent for almost everything on my job board GlobalRemote. It writes my scrapers, builds my CI pipelines, architects my database schemas. It's written the vast majority of the codebase. After a few months of building this way, I've noticed a pattern: the most valuable thing I do isn't writing code. It's catching where the AI gets it wrong — specifically the cases where the output looks correct but doesn't hold up once you think about it. Here are three recent examples. 1.
