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.

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

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

Argumentum ad populum. What kind of experience to those engineers? That matters. Another possible conclusion is that the parent was talking about use cases that are not simple web apps or marketing pages but real issues in large software.
