This may be a bit of a tangent, but I don't agree with being all-in on agentic coding.

Look at the bigger picture. In many other industries, LLM-based solutions are in place. They were embraced, implemented, people learned what works and does not, and the solutions were built a while ago. They are up and running and just day-to-day business at this point.

But with coding, we're still fighting to make it happen. We see job postings with all that detail because it does not "just work". We keep trying to find the best models, the best practices. People keep saying that "Real Soon Now", LLMs can do our jobs 100%. But at the end of the day, we're still writing the same apps we've been writing. Our output has not changed, except maybe a little more speed alongside a little more slop. People who do get it to work do so by throwing a lot of money at tokens. Is that all we are doing? Funding the AI platform vendors and stressing ourselves over... a minor speed improvement?

Am I the only one that thinks that the tech industry is actually failing at AI, and all the talk and effort about it just proves that point?

What industries has it worked with?

Apart from the ever customer-hostile automation drive of making people give up on customer service.
