"We can remove your programmers valued at millions per month for $100/month secure cloud agents"

Pretty easy sell.

Yes, it is an easy sell. But when that happens this sentence will also be viable - "We can remove the need for your company, valued at multiple millions a month" ... because after all, PMs and CEOs aren't harder to replace than programmers at that point.

Crazy how well that’s been working

The technology isn't there yet.

All signs point to it rapidly progressing towards this inflection.

Current agents are insanely good, every decent programmer using them knows this.

If you find them "insanely good" you were likely doing work that was already very repetitive or broadly implemented by others.

They have their uses, but it isn't as pervasive as people believe.

Tell me you haven't extensively used Claude Code or Codex GPT-5 without telling me.

[ActionHank]

Used both, they're great for boilerplate. Anything more they breakdown.

[catigula]

Okay well I and many other experienced engineers disagree so the only remaining conclusion is that you're misusing the technology.

What breaks down is developer patience faced with a new paradigm.
