In my experience most people with the type of critique I'm seeing from you have only tried it one time or have not taken the time to invest in an environment/process that will work for agentic coding.
My question is not so much about sharing a cherry picked example, but the question was more like "have you tried in earnest to make it work". That's the part that wasn't clear from your original post. But you say you have, and you weren't impressed. Fair enough. I'm not trying to convince you otherwise, but I encourage people to give the tools a fair chance before throwing up their hands and deciding it's meh.
Having said all that, you're right there isn't a shared experience.
I'm curious. What have you actually tried? Are you just prompting the LLM with one off tasks? For good results, you need to take the time to read the documentation for the harness you are using and configure your environment. This tuning can take dozens hours to nail down. Then there's the actual approach for working on your projects. Many people that have good results with agentic coding actually spend the bulk of their time in plan mode where they go back and forth with the LLM designing a granular playbook for the task at hand before they ever have it write any code.

This is a pretty bogus claim. False prophet maybe, but the idea that political activism fizzled out because everyone was eating acid seems pretty unsubstantiated.
I've also used AI to build frontends that I'm more than satisfied with, and I think it can "see" perfectly fine. The frontier models are multi-modal and pretty good at vision. You can hook up your coding harness to your browser which will take screenshots of your rendered frontend and modify the code accordingly.
I think it really depends what time of year you go. Zion is beautiful, but when I went it was early in the season and a lot of the popular stuff was closed and it was very crowded everywhere. On the same trip I did all 5 parks in Utah, and I easily rank Zion as my least favorite, even though people seem to love it the most. I would definitely go back though.
In this case it's not basic stuff. You would need to prove that you own the actual bitcoin or transfer it for it to be collateral on a loan. It's the same as spending it.
Adam Back is already a high profile target. Unmasking him as Satoshi doesn't really change that for the guy that founded that company that leads bitcoin core development.
