No. I work in VC backed startups. Externally they might say that for investors, but talk to a software engineer. Agentic IA is not working, it will regurgitate code from examples online, but if you get it to do something complex or slightly novel, it falls flat on its face.

Maybe it will someday be good enough, but not today, and probably not for at least 5 years.





Meanwhile there are people delivering solutions in iPaaS tools, which is quite far from the traditional programming that gets discussed on HN.

Some of those tools aren't yet fully there, but also aren't completely dumb, they get more done in a day, than trying to do the same workflows with classical programming.

Workato, Boomi, Powerapps, Opal,...


How is that relevant to this thread?

Those are high level programming tools, nowadays backed by AI, being adopted the big corps, some are sponsored with VC money, which you are sceptical about.

Well good luck to them. I don’t want to be stuck without a job because the bubble burst along with all the capital my job depends on.
