You're choosing to focus on specific hype posts (which were actually just misunderstandings of the original confusingly-worded Twitter post).

While ignoring the many, many cases of well-known and talented developers who give more context and say that agentic coding does give them a significant speedup (like Antirez (creator of Reddit), DHH (creator of RoR), Linus (Creator of Linux), Steve Yegge, Simon Wilison).

Why not in that case provide an example to rebut and contribute as opposed to knocking someone elses example even if it was against the use of agentic coding.

Citation needed. Talk, especially in the 'agentic age', is cheap.
