have you tried those 80 agentic tools? They are not opportunities for devs, they are opportunities for the people selling them. We are 2 years into vibecoding and nobody can point to one great piece of software created using it.
I have tried quite a few and would defo agree with your conclusion. Also not fully buying the "you're holding it wrong" answers.
I point at long such lists of tools only to indicate a certain level of complexity, which will most likely fall in the realm of "oh, this is too technical for me. I should delegate this to Alice, because she good with tech". This is only shifting the problems and problems mean opportunity.

If the myth of the "copy-paste dev" has any truth to it, then salaries are inflated.
On the flip-side, lists like "here are 80 agentic tools for your start-up" sounds like new opportunities for devs on quite a few dimensions, no?
