The framing that adoption is about how much agency, trust, and identity an engineer hands over — not how capable the models are — explains a lot of what I have seen on teams. The Burner Account Architect stood out to me: setting up throwaway accounts is not paranoia, it is someone hand-building the delegated trust layer the tooling has not provided yet. And the line that every healthy team needs a Review Bouncer landed well — once generation is nearly free, review really does become the bottleneck for integrity. I also liked the point that nobody stays in one persona; being the Token Accountant on Monday and the Review Bouncer on Tuesday feels exactly right.
