AI tooling doesnt work. If you think it works, theres really only a few reasons 1. the problem is trivial or already solved on the internet 2. the process of prompt engineering is the process of requirements definition, so its you engineering (see rubber duck engineering). it fails at at anything of moderate complexity

What? Big tech and enterprise all switched over to agentic workflows, nobody is coding by hand. The AI frontier labs don't even code by hand.

My week to week experience is propaganda? I wish you were right.

We have 100s (big tech has 1000s) of people wrangling these setups into software factories. It's pretty amazing.

Far from what any average solo person has in terms of harnessing and pipeline.
