The world could use one less "how I slop" article at this point.

This reminds me of the early Medium days when everyone would write articles on how to make HTTP endpoints or how to use Pandas.

There’s not much skill involved in hauling agents, and you can still do it without losing your expertise in the stuff you actually like to work with.

For me, I work with these tools all the time, and reading these articles hasn’t added anything to my repertoire so far. It gives me the feeling of "bikeshedding about tools instead of actually building something useful with them."

We are collectively addicted to making software that no one wants to use. Even I don’t consistently use half the junk I built with these tools.

Another thing is that everyone yapping about how great AI is isn’t actually showing the tools’ capabilities in building greenfield stuff. In reality, we have to do a lot more brownfield work that’s super boring, and AI isn’t as effective there.
