It’s about time these types of articles actually include the types of tasks being “orchestrated” (as the author writes) that aren’t just plain refactoring chores or React boilerplate. Sanity has quite a backlog of long-requested features and the message here is that these agents are supposedly parallelizing a lot of the work. What kind of staff engineer has “80% of their code” written by a “junior developer who doesn't learn“?

We have all these superpowered AI vibe coders, and yet open source projects still have vast backlogs of open issues.

Things that make you go "Hmmmmmm."

You have to pay a recurring subscription to access the worthwhile tools in a meaningful capacity. This goes directly against why retail users of open source software, some of whom are also developers of it, actually use it - and you can tell a lot of developers do it because they find coding fun.

It’s a very different discussion when you’re building a product to sell.
