Blogger tests four coding agents with $100 budgets on PDF editor
Original: I gave four coding agents $100 budget to build a PDF editor
A developer gave four AI coding agents a $100 budget each to build a PDF editor, then documented their remaining shortcomings in a blog post. The write-up compares how each agent handled the same task and highlights where current agentic coding tools still fall short, drawing discussion among developers weighing the practical limits of AI-assisted programming.
Why now: Developers are debating how capable AI coding agents really are when given real tasks and budgets.
