This article mentions cost to ship, but ignores that the largest cost of any software project isn't consumed by how long it takes to get to market, but by maintenance and addition of new features. How is agentic coding doing there? I've only seen huge, unmaintainable messes so far.

While this is true, I think some fields like game development may not always have this problem. If your goal is to release a non-upgradable game - fps, arcade, single-player titles, maintenance may be much less important than shipping.

edit: typos

I think that is an applicable domain, but the problem is that every gamer I know who is not in the tech industry is vehemently opposed to AI.

Well, they just love complaining. You won't find many who profess to like DLC, yet that sells.
