Ok, but all of these technologies have bounded impact, and they present new abstractions that need to be learned by engineers.

Coding agents are different in that they are unbounded in the tasks they can do (although reliability is an issue), and you can work with them the same way you work with other engineers (e.g. via natural language).

Also, coding agent capabilities are advancing much faster than people can sit down and learn their limitations. All the tricks we learned for Opus 5 became obsolete in a couple months with Opus 5.5.
