One thing I've noticed the last few days is that agentic coding is a textbook example of an addictive process. I've heard people mention this before, but I'm feeling it first hand now.
From this pape...
Interesting take.
I would say there is a part missing from your analogy which is conversation and feedback.
Imagine the dealer being able to count cards for you and tell you the chances of the next card.
You can ask your agent to explain things as they see it, and how they want to approach something.
So it’s not just gambling (which does exist) but also a relationship between man and machine, which we humans have mastered throughout the ages.
