This is a really cool post but I think one metric we may want to also look at is does using agentic coding tools in one domain impact your coding abilities in another domain? A lot of people I know have been talking about getting rusty on the fundamentals recently. This is not something I am particularly feeling as I do a mix of running agents in parallel and writing some code manually where it makes sense. But if people who have been prompt-only at work come home and work on rsync and are more "rusty" maybe that could also lead to more bugs?

This would be even harder to measure.
