Agentic engineering hits a wall: inability to perceive "feel" and aesthetics
BLUECOW009 · x · 2026-09-01
The author identifies a structural wall in agentic engineering called "how does it feel." Agents can execute actions, take screenshots, and burn tokens, but they fail to perceive ugly UIs, obvious bugs, or the coolness of a landing page animation. They lack the ability to judge subjective experiences like the tactile feedback of a touch screen, limiting their effectiveness in tasks dependent on aesthetics and user feel.
