That's the issue that I feel misses the forest for the trees. Relatively simple applications or thin slices exist right now, in production, in critical paths, as spreadsheets/CSVs/files on someone's desktop. That's the pent up demand I picture out there for developers.

Go to any SMB out there and there's a goldmine of processes that could be improved with LLM agents with full RW access to a database. Where backups are sufficient as a recovery mechanism that is better-than-before.

I think the Venn diagram of people letting LLMs have complete control of their database AND having good backups, will have no overlap. The people that would benefit or not the people that have backups.

Okay, totally agree. I think good harnesses are crucial but the premise is absolutely valid.
