The dichotomy between the people who are "orchestrating" agents to build software and the people experiencing this less than ideal outcomes from LLMs is fascinating.
I don't think LLM for coding productivity is all hype but I think for the people who "see the magic" there are many illusions here similar to those who fall prey to an MLM pitch.
You can see all the claims aren't necessarily unfounded, but the lack of guaranteed reproducibility leaves the door open for many caveats in favor of belief for the believer and cynicism for everybody else.
For the believers if it's not working for one person, it's a skill issue related to providing the best prompt, the right rules, the perfect context and so forth. At what point is this a roundabout way of doing it yourself anyway?
