Is it all just vapourware?

The author argues that most new "AI agent" software is vapourware, plagued by poor user experience and friction rather than genuine utility. They illustrate this with their experience using ONA, an automation platform that promised to streamline software development but instead wasted computing resources and created additional work through integration issues and inefficient processes. The author contends that while AI has made code-writing cheap and abundant, developers are neglecting usability and QA, leaving products that add complexity rather than solving real problems.
