Since this is a business problem.

* It's not clear on how much revenue or new customers is generated by using a coding agent

* It's not clear on how things are going on production. There's only talks about development in the article

I feel ai coding agents will give you the edge. Just this article doesn't talk about revenue or PnL side of things, just perceived costs saved from not employing an engineer.

Yes. A company needs measurable ROI and isn't going to spend $200 a month per seat on Claude.

It will instead sign a deal with Microsoft for ai that is 'good enough' and limit expensive ai to some. Or being in the big consultancys as usual to do the projects.
