And even ignoring the token costs, that is just not true.
Sure, for some cases, the cost is going down. I and others on my team "one-shotted" impressive features in an hour of agent work that would have taken humans probably a month if done completely manually.
I've also seen agents going in circles for an hour on a fix that would have taken even a junior 3 minutes to get right (after it was struggling for 10 minutes, I wanted to see if it can ever get it right as an experiment).
And when taking a look at the whole organization, orgs still just aren't really shipping that much more quality features to their users as the impressive one-shot demos would make you think.
