First they came with the NoOps movement, and you were happy cause those damned ops people were always complaining and slowing you down. I can manage my infra!
Then, they came with the dev-owned testing and fired all the QAs, and you were happy because they were always breaking your app and slowing you down. I can write my tests!
Now, they are coming with LLM agents and you don't own the product...
I have worked with bad ops people who didn't let anything get done, and good ops people who knew how to do tricky things and kept the system working so I didn't have to care. I have worked with good and bad QA testers. Guess who I'm glad are gone.
