The article also treats the word "good" as load-bearing in a way that should have you questioning their analysis:
"I’ve called November 2025 the November inflection point because that was when GPT-5.1 and Opus 4.5, combined with their respective coding agent harnesses, got good—good enough that we’ve spent the last six months adapting to agent systems that can reliably get useful work done."
Yet it’s backed up by adoption across the industry
MongoDB was once backed up by adoption across the industry. Or for a more recent example, blockchain took off like wildfire across the industry before ultimately fizzling out in all but the most niche applications.
Not saying this trend will do the same, just that the industry adopting something doesn't guarantee its success.
I don’t think those are really comparable. The blockchain was trendy hype, relatively few companies actually adopted it. Where did Netflix use the blockchain? Google?
By comparison almost all tech companies I know have leaned heavily into AI.
