I don't think it's true. It is probably overhyped but it is legitimately useful. Current agents can do around 70% of coding stuff I do at work with light supervision.

That’s exactly what a con is: selling you something as being more than what it actually is. If you agree it’s overhyped by its sellers, you agree it’s a con.

LLMs are being sold as capable of significantly more than coding. Focusing on that singular aspect misses the point of the article.
