Armin Ronacher, who even very recently has previously has been very pro ai agent vibecoding to the point of criticizing critics, seems to have stepped back and asked the question: are AI coding agent users all experiencing mass delusion... including himself? lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/1/18/age

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber how surprising. I had quite a different discussion with him just a week ago: mastodon.social/@btel/11588776

@mitsuhiko@hachyderm.io I am glad that it worked for you. Unfortunately, I don't share your experience. Too often the agents would go on tangentials not related really to the task I asked them or enter a loop of rewriting their own code (while charging for extra tokens). Maybe in your case the task was perfectly specified (which is not the case for all software projects). Or maybe it was just your experience that pushed the agent in the right direction (I guess you knew the target language already).
