alt Hacker News> This is a great point! Reminds me of Agentic software development. When it doesn't work out it's only evidence that you could have used more agents.
A concept older than agentic software development is bad workmen blaming his tools.
I mean, if you can't possibly hammer a nail then is it reasonable to blame the hammer?

Clearly they didn't use enough hammer. Screws always require the most hammer. Common knowledge to any certified practitioner of Hammer™[1].

You can use brick as hammer. Doesn't mean brick makes a good hammer or that person who tells that brick is a bad hammer and doesn't work from them is bad workman.
If it's an internet-required smarthammer without a handle that instead hits out on voice prompt, sometimes without enough or with too much force, sometimes knocks the nail out of the way and punches a hole, and sometimes hits you in the face, then yeah
