Agentic Coding Is Anything But

Here’s the plan: build a simplified framework of software engineering and then throw agentic coding into the picture. Once that’s done, the fun part - poking holes in our own model to see what falls out.

Two claims I want to justify: the bottleneck is still you, and agentic coding multiplies your output - it doesn’t add to it. Zero times anything is still zero.

I agree with the sentiment, the simpler smaller tasks are now 'hey, Claude, go add another text box here and just follow the flow to get it in the database' because some customer wanted a 'colour choice' field next to the vehicle registration or whatever.

But you still have to check it, even if Claude drives a web browser and says he's done 'production ready' code. someone still signs this off as 'their code' at this point.

Maybe every app just needs to do a Google and say it's 'beta' forever and ever!
