Yeah, I agree with all of what you wrote, how these are used seems (to me) to be more important than how they're built. If you don't know software engineering, a software engineering agent isn't suddenly gonna make you one, but someone who already knows the craft, can be very effective with one.

Amplifiers, rather than replacements. I think the community at large still thinks LLMs and agents are gonna be "replacing" knowledge, which I think is far from the truth.
