Coding agent is a category of tools like, say, unit tests. If these days someone attached some random bits about how unit tests helped and how they didn't, everyone would directly agree that it does not help the main point of the article. However, because how relatively new these things are and how wide the spectrum of opinions are, and how it feels like "cheating", many feel the duty to also report the usage of them, even when talking about something completely different. I remember the times when every web developer was talking about how firebug helped them defeat a very elusive bug.

TL;DR: It will pass as AI agents become more boring (a good thing) and there's a standard workflow.
