> We all know that this technology isn't magic.
I didn't say it's magic. I said what it is advertised as.
> The reminder does nothing. The contextual advice on how to tackle those issues does.
No, the contextual advice doesn't help because it doesn't tackle the issue because the issue is "It doesn't work as advertised". We are in a thread of an article whose main thesis is "We’re still far away from AI writing code autonomously for non-trivial tasks." Giving advice that doesn't achieve autonomous writing code for non-trivial tasks doesn't help achieve that goal.
And if you want to talk about replies that do nothing. Calling the guy a Luddite for saying that the tip doesn't help him use the agent as an autonomous coder, is a huge nothing.
> since you've already made up your mind about the limit you or others should be willing to go.
Please read the article and understand what the conversation is about. We are talking about the limits that the article outlined, and the poster is saying how he also hit those limits.
> If it doesn't meet the standard of what you believe is advertised than say that.
The article says this. The commenter must have assumed people here read the articles.
> why invalidate the person providing the context into how to utilize those tools in their current state better?
Because that context is a deflection from the main point of the comment and conversation. It's like in a thread of mechanics talking about how an automatic tire balancer doesn't work well, and someone comes in saying "Well you could balance the tires manually!" How helpful is that?
