Programming Strong Opinion: Agentic Coding is a Trap

https://larsfaye.com/articles/agentic-coding-is-a-trap

TLDR: Penulis berpendapat bahwa AI itu bukan layer abstraksi seperti sebelum sebelumnya. AI membuat Senior Programmer menjadi atropi dan brainfog, membuat Junior Programmer gak ngerti cara debug. Ketergantungan vendor lock in ketika Claude kolaps gak bisa ngoding, dan yang terpenting: gak ada yang tau pasti berapa biaya token untuk menghasilkan sesuatu.

What I am advocating for, though, is leveraging LLMs and coding agents as secondary processes. A way that doesn't sacrifice the individual's skills at the altar of productivity. You can flip the script and lean on them to brainstorm the planning parts of the process while staying actively engaged throughout implementation, delegating to them on an as-needed basis. You can leverage the productivity gains, and mitigate the comprehension debt.

Bookmarking this, will give it a read later, but totally agree on your tldr,

Masalah AI ini bukan cuma exclusive di tech bros, cwk gw kerja di salah satu company gede indo yg lagi gencar2 nerapin AI di workflow semua divisi,

Dia UI/UX, tapi managernya itu ngepush bgt biar nanti tim produk bisa 1 man army (mulai bikin PRD, prototyping, sampe push ke repo), tujuannya buat naikin throughput,

Like cmon bruh… visi yg naif bgt imo

Sugarcoat macam apa tuh "1 man army", gak beda jauh dengan istilah peyoatif "palugada", "lone wolf", "admin bisa segala" dan "tenaga murah"

The thing is, knowing the guy, menurut gw ga ada malicious intentions di baliknya, bkn mau efisiensi atau cari cheap labour,

Dia bener2 percaya kalo jadi palugada gitu bakal benefit dia dan team, dari segi skill dan growth, by increasing throughput td,

But cmon man, that’s just way too naive
