" Agents cannot program, and it’s taking longer and longer to realize that they can’t. They are a highly sophisticated statistical model designed to mimic the distribution of programming"

In other words - they can program, and probably better than you.

I don't like being too critical but this is a really superficial post - as if either 'AI is a Software Engineer - or - It must be Fraud'

It's an extremely powerful tool that is very 'pattern oriented' and with guidance can absolutely write great code - and even across modules given the right basis.

It's also great at so many other tasks - finding bugs in big code bases, doing migrations etc.

It's not going to make very goo architectural decisions for you, and if you're doing anything novel you have to read most of the code ... but that's too be expected.
