I just don't care about your skill files

I get that LLMs can be modestly useful coding assistants. But this whole ecosystem of "agents" and harnesses and subsidized million dollar spends at pennies on the dollar, I just don't get. What are you building? What useful work is being done? Because all I see is worse software being built at higher prices, an astronomical technical debt, and a thriving ecosystem of charlatans cashing in before the inevitable bust. Now I'm just an inebriated spud shaking my fist at clouds here, but I am also honestly curious what nuggets of reality are to be gleaned from the hype. What tools and workflows are people finding actually valuable? (Obligatory acknowledgment of lampshade: deliberately provocative title.)
