For the record, and since it has been pointed out, the mention of shipwrecks and Autonomy in the same sentence was just an unfortunate co-incidence. I wouldn't joke about that.
Regarding the article, I found the point about coding agents being awful at doing anything new realy thought-provoking. It makes me consider the precise definition of 'new' in the realm of complex problem framing for a data scientist versus just novel execution, which feels like a crucial distinction for the future of our profession.
