Is working this way actually faster, or any improvement than just writing the code yourself?

Much, much faster, and I’d say the code is more formal, and I’ve never had such a complete test suite.

The downside is I don’t have as much of a grasp on what’s actually happening in my project, while with hand-written projects I’d know every detail.

How do you know the test suite is comprehensive if you don't have a grasp on what's happening?

Not a gotcha I'm just extremely skeptical that AI is at a point to have the level of responsibility you're describing and have it turn into good code long term

I do TDD. Plan out the feature, then have it write test. Scan the tests, check if everything is kosher. Then let it do the implementation, rinse and repeat.

How do you stop it from changing or modifying the test to get to pass?
