It is definitely not unfair. #2 is a great strategy, I'm gonna try in my agentic tool. We obviously need experts to steer the AIs in this current phase, who said we don't?
I don't know if it's explicitely said but if you call it agentic, it sounds like it can do stuff independently (like an agent). If I still need to hand feed it everything, I wouldn't really call it agentic.
Much of the marketing around agents is about not needing them. Zuck said Meta's internal agent can produce the code of an average junior engineer in the company. An average junior engineer doesn't need this level of steering to know to not include a 4 year old outdated library in a web project.
Where is the consensus position that is demonstrably more effective than traditional development?
My observation is that it's somewhere close to "start this project and set an overall structure", after that nobody seems to agree.
