TIL what the word "propitious" means. Thanks! Joking aside, AI coding agents seem to be pretty legit these days. It's hard to imagine a future where these AI coding agents don't make a lot of people rich. I've seen first-hand that AI tools can enable non-coding product designers to actually develop and ship working code - just based on their prompts (ie vide coding). Also comments on HN seem to be contrarian, so obviously I'm going to argue that AI _will_ make you rich. Such is the way of things.
