I have tinkered with it, and I've also had to deal with coworkers using it. I have actual work to do instead of playing with toys that make my job harder.
That may be your experience but it's clearly the exception. Every developer i know doesn't even use ide anymore and have not written a line of code for months. Most of us hate it and prefer we went back to the old ways of manually typing code, but sadly the llms won't go back in the bottle. You are in the denial stage and it's ok, we were all there.
Perhaps your experience is the exception?
You must've been living in a cave. Just go to any social media, youtube, even reddit and look for programming topic. Everyone claims the same, people don't write code manually anymore.
A number of people have shared their experience with you and you seem to be unwilling to acknowledge that your assertion of universal slopping it up as reality is not utterly universal.
It's kinda hard to acknowledge something when every single content I've seen in last couple of months claims the opposite.
The content on Internet will invariably biased towards the novelty. Between that bias and enormous marketing spin and the most self important people gravitating towards it, it's an expected reality. One that will be applicable to some scenarios.
Content saying that for some situations, the existing methods remain best isn't going to light the world on fire. Also, tech folks tend to be more shy about "not getting" a seemingly great new tech.
In terms of how much it applies to an individual situation, it's too nuanced to really make a universal judgement. But in my local circle where I can grasp the nuance, the teams that have gone all in on deeply agentic are teams that already were kind of crappy.
Almost everyone on lemmy DOES live in a cave. They willfully avoid and actively hate new technology.
(Dude you've been trying the "smug condescension" thing for like two hours and nobody's playing along, give it up already it's tedious)
Great counter-argument full of logic and rich of facts.
You're not exactly giving me much to work with - anecdotal evidence is not fact, and rhetoric is not logic.
