Sorry, but this is just not true.
I'm using agents with a totally idiosyncratic code base of Haskell + Bazel + Flutter. It's a stack that is so quirky and niche that even Google hasn't been able to make it work well despite all their developer talent and years of SWEs pushing for things like Haskell support internally.
With agents I'm easily 100x more productive than I would be otherwise.
I'm just starting on a C++ project, but I've already done at least 2 weeks worth of work in under a day.
Share the codebase and what you're doing or, I'm sorry, you're just another example of what I laid out above.
If you honestly believe that "agents" are making you better than Goole SWEs then you severely need to take a step back and reevaluate, because you are wrong.
Hold the phone. So, Google, with its legions of summa cum laude engineers, can't make this stack work well, but your AI agent is nailing it into next week? Seriously, show me the way, so I too may find AI enlightenment.
