> the most amount of code generated by agents

Yes, I wholehartly agree. Coming from a week of agent-coding - out of pure curiosity - most code was generated by agents, which I had then to delete and rewrite to use like a quarter of statements to achieve the same, in an understandable, maintainable way.

But that's just my experience.

People will very often say they "had to" do something, when in reality they merely "chose to" do that thing.

Well, at least some point people will “have” to.

If the industry is using agents and shipping a certain amount X of code/features in a certain amount if time, you either start using agents as well or you fall behind.

It's not a shall/must, but it is a "I think I need to, because this is going to be unmaintanable 3 months from now".
