they probably are but have some patience.
Keep in mind, claudecode and the other coding agents were pretty bad until around Jan of this year (2026). So it's only been about 9 months since devs have had decent coding agents and even less time has elapsed since somewhat wide adoption.
I'm sure these things are in the plans from upper management.
we'll know when the next layoffs hit.
