AI Code Agents "snake oil sales" vs boot.dev

code-gen agents are useful; but they are also dangerous;

it is like driving a high-speed / racing car of motorbike:
you need to constantly "steer" or they will crash.
DraganSr: Bicycle for mind => AI EV superbike
it is not like manual-powered human-coding "bicycle for mind" anymore.

but this is not what AI model promoters are "selling";
they are selling modern "snake oil";
why "snake oil?" 
because that is/was a useful substance, but what was sold was "fake substitutes" that got a bad name.

Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to" / X

Microsoft begs for mercy - YouTube (and Google is cheating!)

So, feed "best ideas that survived" one year of experimentation
generated good TOY VERSION!

That is EXACTLY what you get from code agents if you are just "vibe coding".
That is it.

New snake oil.

Excepted better from Google engineers!
