To play devils advocate, agentic things wouldn’t necessarily include software development. “Hey siri create me an e-commerce site” isn’t likely to happen for a long while, because like you said it’s a complex thing that doesn’t have clear success measures. But “hey siri get me a restaurant reservation at place, hire a taxi for me to get there, and let Brad know the details” can be broken down into a number of different “simple” things that have simple to define measures of success. Did a reservation get booked? Did we tell Brad the details? etc.





Yes, but my point is that it’s a completely separate problem. Think of agentics like powershell applets. They generally only do one thing, but you can chain them together to achieve a larger goal.
You’re complaining about single applet, or a specific type of applet, while the topic is applets in general.
