- Octomind uses AI agents but still relies on human-written code.
- Current AI tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and Windsurf haven't significantly boosted productivity.
- AI struggles with basic development tasks and often produces incomplete or incorrect code.
- AI lacks the ability to judge its own performance accurately.
- Using AI for coding can erode a developer's mental model of the codebase.
- AI is useful for brainstorming, debugging, and handling small, repetitive tasks.
- Specialized AI agents can automate narrow, well-defined tasks effectively.
- The hype around AI writing most of the code is premature.
