Novelty isn't necessarily better as a replacement of what exists. Example: blockchain as fancy database, NFTs, Internet Explorer, Silverlight, etc.

No it’s certainly not, and if you do want to lump coding agents into blockchain and NFTs that’s of course your choice but those things did not spur trillions of dollars of infra buildout and reshape entire geopolitical landscapes and have billions of active users. If you want to say: coding agents are not truly a net positive right now, that’s I think a perfectly reasonable opinion to hold (though I disagree personally). If you want to say coding agents are about as vapid as NFTs that to me is a bit less defensible
