I've never seen someone who can do good architecture, API, or product design that doesn't deeply relish getting their hands dirty all the way down in the guts of the thing. (To be clear, I have seen plenty of people who like getting their hands dirty who also suck at design. It's a necessary but not sufficient condition.)
How can you do good design work if the only "people" who have experience with what you're designing are the AI agents you order around? I guess if you're designing an API that you only intend to be used by other AI agents, that's probably fine.
At some point, though, it's gotta feel like working at a pet food company coming up with new cat food recipes. You can be very successful by focus testing on cats, but you'll never really know the thing you're making. (No judgement if you do want to eat cat food, I guess.)
