You're acting like everyone here doesn't have hundreds of hours of experience with LLM coding. We all do, we all know what it's like.
You're simply either lying or wrong. If it's the former, I don't care, you're just an asshole on the internet. If it's the latter, you'll learn eventually and it will be quite painful for you.

But the opinions expressed are basically polar opposites, so there's clearly something to this.
The easy explanation IMO is that it takes some time to learn how to use LLM's effectively for system development. It's still skilled work, just different skills.
Some put in that effort and see results, others are annoyed that the reality doesn't match the hype and bail.

Surely it's possible that he was able to make it work even though you didn't?
I doubt that.
I believe many of you use it at work, where you need to get code through review, or voluntarily review the generated code.
Otherwise I have no explanation as to how agentic development is failing for you, while it continues to work on my side in a large code base.
