There's a wave of research and people posting on social media that the new LLM agentic programming isn't improving developer productivity. This reminds me of when people said the same thing about email, the web, and mobile phones. Eventually the naysayers will be ignored and everybody will move on. The very idea that we would consider developing software without agents and LLM's. Just like the idea of doing business without a mobile phone or email or even computer seems insane.

Speaking from personal experience I can say it does improve my productivity by A LOT. Let them hate all they want I will still beat them in speed and reliability
The idea that LLMs and agentic programming would not improve developer productivity seems bananas to me.
However, Iām a hardware guy, not a software guy. So maybe Iām uninformed. š¤·š½āāļø
