I’m calling it now, the adoption of AI agents into software development will be one of the most costly mistakes in the field’s history. Agents cannot program, and it’s taking longer and longer to realize that they can’t. They are a highly sophisticated statistical model designed to mimic the distribution of programming. The output is broken, but in a way that’s getting harder and harder to detect. Which is exactly what you’d expect from an increasingly accurate statistical model.

    I’m not saying that AI isn’t useful, it clearly is. It’s definitely a better Google for most searches.

    What are you on about?

      That’s just because Google search has been made useless deliberately by Google itself over the last years. Everyone who wasn’t born yesterday knows how effective Google Search was back in the day and how shitty it is now.
