Is it concerning to anyone else that the "Simple & Reliable" and "Reliable on Longer Tasks" diagrams look kind of like the much maligned waterfall design process?

It looks more like alchemy, thb.

Waterfall is just a better process with agents. Agile is garbage when inserting yourself in the loop causes the system to drop to 10% velocity.

To me it seems more like the typical trap of a misfit bounded context.

One reason it is concerning.

I am mostly worried that I am wrong, in my opinion, that "agents" is a bad paradigm for working with LLMs

I have been using LLMs since I got my first Open AI API key, I think "human in the loop" is what makes them special

I have massively increased my fun, and significantly increased my productivity using just the raw chat interface.

It seems to me that building agents to do work that I am responsible for is the opposite of fun and a productivity sink as I correct the rare, but must check for it, bananas mistakes these agents inevitably make
