I don't agree with the author on the GO thing. I've created agents that work 24/7 on GH issues for me, in Rust, Python and PHP. I use Claude (api). The result overall is very good. When I wake up there is always a fresh PR waiting for me.

I don't like the word "agent" because it is not a blind LLM, small or fast script. It is a complex workflow with many checks and prompting before writing a single line of code. That's also the key to AI powered development; context.
