There's a big difference between the two. If you still think agent-guided development doesnt work well, you need to update your priors
The slow enshittification of every product touched by LLMs these last few years (ESPECIALLY by Microsoft, who goes all-in) kind of “disproves” your point.
Reliable agent-coded development only seems to work for small codebases. (And it’s amazing in Ruby for some reasons.)
