Serious question, but have you not used it to implement anything at your job? Admittedly I was very skeptical but last sprint in 2 days I got 12 pull requests up for review by running 8 agents on my computer in parallel and about 10 more on cloud VMs. The PRs are all double reviewed and QA'd and merged. The ones that don't have PRs are larger refactors, one 40K loc and the other 30k loc and I just need actual time to go through every line myself and self-test appropriately, otherwise it would have been more stuff finished. These are all items tied to money in our backlog. It would have taken me about 5 times as long to close those items out without this tooling. I also would have not had as much time to produce and verify as many unit tests as I did. Is this not increased productivity?

So you roll a dice and call yourself a software engineer, basically.

  • I have an engineering degree but don't call myself an engineer because it's illegal to do so in my country unless I hold a PEng.

    That aside, I fail to see how code where I have reviewed every single line, tested all edge cases as normal, had 2 other devs also test this, had a QA test, and had a PO run and approve the behaviour as "rolling the dice" but you're entitled to your opinion.
