I think that the premise is wrong (and the title is very clickbaity, but we will ignore that it doesn’t really match the article and the “conclusion”): coding agents are “solving” at least one problem, which is to massively expand the impact of senior developers _that can use them effectively_.
Everything else is just hype and people “holding it wrong”.
I really wonder how you people manage to ignore the many research studies that have come out and prove this wrong.
