Errrrr…. false.
I’ll stop reading right there thanks I think I know what’s coming.
Really? 2024? That was forever ago in LLM coding. Before tool calling, reasoning, and larger context windows.
It is like saying YouTube couldn’t exist because too many people were still on dial up.

There is this super interesting post in new about agent swarms and how the field is evolving towards formal verification like airlines, or how there are ideas we can draw on. Any, imo it should be on the front over this piece
"Why AI Swarms Cannot Build Architecture"
An analysis of the structural limitations preventing AI agent swarms from producing coherent software architecture
That's fine. I found the leading stats interesting. If coding assistants slowed down experienced developers while creating a false sense of development speed then that should be thought-provoking. Also, nearly half of code churned by coding assistants having security issues. That he's tough.
Perhaps it's just me, but that's in line with my personal experience, and I rarely see those points being raised.

That's fine. Feel free to submit the link. I find it far more interesting to discuss the post-rose tinted glasses view of coding agents. I don't think it makes any sense at all to laud promises of formal verification when the same technology right now is unable to introduce security vulnerabilities.
They are from before the current generation of models and agent tools, they are almost certainly out of date and now different and will continue to evolve
We're still learning to crawl, haven't gotten to walking yet
I did, or someone else did, it's the link in the post you replied to
Context gathering and refinement is the biggest issue I have with product development at the moment.
