People are rushing to be the first one to coin something and hit it big. Imagine the amount of $$$ you could get for being an "expert ai consultant" in this space.

There was already another attempt at agentic patterns earlier:

Absolute hot air garbage.

Which pieces of my writing are garbage?

They won't have a decent response, this is the Internet after all. I really enjoyed it thanks for writing it and I'll take a lot of it onboard. I think everyone will have their own software stack and AIs designed perfectly for them to do their work in the future.

I've followed you for a while (maybe 2-3 years?) and love your writing. Your posts are always approachable and easy to digest.

I really don't understand where the HN hate comes from. I hope you aren't giving negative comments too much attention.

I don’t think these kind of outbursts from some random guy in HN requires your response.

You have helped a lot of people from junior to staff+ level to understand how to use agents for software engineering using simple language. Calling it garbage is gross injustice to the work you put out.

It's not hot air garbage.

Secondly: this is a temporary vacuum state. We're only needed to bridge the gap.

I wouldn't be trying to be a consultant, I would be scurrying to ensure we have access to these tools once they're industrial. A "$5M button" to create any business function won't be within the reach of labor capital, but it will be for financial capital. That's the world we're headed to.
