It's becoming clearer now—many development teams shipped way too early. Waiting for agentic coding assistants to mature would've saved serious time and resources.

Look at the trajectory: coding agents are getting smarter, video generation tools are leveling up, multimodal AI keeps improving. The pattern is obvious. If you're building something now, ask yourself honestly—will this be faster to develop manually, or should you sit tight and let AI catch up first?

The math changes when you factor in six-month or one-year development cycles. Sometimes lazy beats rushing. Your backlog can probably wait while the tooling catches up. Better infrastructure beats early-mover disadvantage in plenty of cases.
