I am a believer in the new agentic coding tools (I wasn't 6 months ago) but the delays and time it takes to build something haven't really changed even though everyone I know is using them. What I see is what has always been there:
Product doesn't understand the product because if it was easy to understand then someone else would have solved the problem already and we wouldn't have jobs. This means you need to iterate and discuss and figure out just like always. The iterations can be bolder, bigger, etc and maybe a bit faster but ultimately software scales np so a 10x improvement in -individual- capability doesn't scale to 10x improvement in -organizational- capability.
Let me put it another way. If your problem was so simple you could write a 200 word prompt to fully articulate it then you probably don't have much of a moat and aren't providing enough value to be competitive.
