I see posts on LinkedIn from people who believe dev teams should be pushed to adopt "agentic" coding so they can reap the "10x" productivity gains. Putting aside the lack of evidence for even 1.5x gains on teams, if it really were possible, why would they need to be pushed towards it?

Part of ensh*tification is too much coding chasing useless features. The people pushing adoption are like the founder of Spotify who thinks musicians are lazy when they only produce an album every 3 years. Art. It is like when we started offshoring to very inexpensive devs. More code, more to fix.

Running 6 AI agents in production daily, the productivity math gets complicated fast. The 10x claim assumes you can trust agent output — but verification overhead is real. On well-scoped tasks we see 2-3x. On ambiguous ones, agents retry in loops and dig the hole deeper.

Because BigAI needs users - "there is not success of AI without adoption" 🙃

Because it changes how we work, and pushes us to widely different workflows. A lot more spec work, a lot more code reviews (which is hard), and a lot less coding work - which a significant number of SW engineers like to do. I chose that profession because I enjoy programming. Feels over, though.

Yep, this is not the AI Revolution we were sold. Remember, the one that would solve globally critical issues like cancer and climate change? The world was not on the brink because of programmer productivity .. but hey, since that's the only nail it seems good enough for, then hammer away!
