TBF, there are lots of tools that work great but most people just can't use.

I personally can't use agentic coding, and I'm reasonably convinced the problem is not with me. But it's not something you can completely dismiss.

> Also, you have to learn it right now, because otherwise it will be too late and you will be outdated, even though it is improving very fast allegedly.

This in general is a really weird behaviour that I come across a lot, I can't really explain it. For example, I use Python quite a lot and really like it. There are plenty of people who don't like Python, and I might disagree with them, but I'm not gonna push them to use it ("or else..."), because why would I care? Meanwhile, I'm often told I MUST start using AI ("or else..."), manual programming is dead, etc... Often by people who aren't exactly saying it kindly, which kind of throws out the "I'm just saying it out of concern for you" argument.

That one's my favorite. You can't defend against it, it just shuts down the conversation. Odds are, you aren't doing it wrong. These people are usually suffering from Dunning Kruger at best, or they're paid shills/bots at worst.

People say it takes at least 6 months to learn how to use LLM's effectively, while at the same time the field is rapidly changing so fast, while at the same time Agents were useless until Opus 4.5.

Which is it lol.

If you had negative results using anything more than 3 days old, then it's your fault, your results mean nothing because they've improved since then. /s
