Comment on Ask HN: Are cloud coding agents useful in real workflows yet?

Comments

I haven't seen any use cases around me, although I'm not that advanced user.

But there are a few things that makes me understand why it's not used more:

- It's way too expensive for me to use it in private life/side project

- Data protection and integration into companies is lacking for company use

- They are very, very badly advertised. I still have to watch several YT videos and hope for reddit comments, to figure out what they mean as an "agent", what it can do, and does it really only work with github.

I am recently catching up on a lot of agent-related topics and I still struggle to understand what they are selling.
