It's interesting to still hear this kind of sentiment. > People seem to think producing text has some value of its own. Reading this sentence makes me think that the author actually never seen agentic work in action?
Producing value out of text does work and one of good examples is putting it in a loop with some form of verification output.
It's easy to do with programming - type checker, tests, linter etc. – so it can chat by itself with it's own results until the problem is solved. I also find it personally strange that so often discussions require reminder that rate of change in capabilities is also big part of "the thing" (as opposed to pure capabilities today). It changes on weekly/monthly basis and it changes in one direction only. |

the kind of people the parent comment was talking about tend to believe they can send three emails and make millions of pounds suddenly appear in business value (i’m being hyperbolic and grossly unfair but the premise is there).
they think the idea is far more valuable than the implementation - the idea is their bit (or the bit they’ve decided is their bit) and everyone else is there to make their fantastic idea magically appear out of thin air.
they aren’t looking at tests and don’t have a clue what a linter is (they probably think it’s some fancy device to keep lint off their expensive suits).
