Are you saying that because you're also skeptical? I haven't had the best time switching to agent coding. I mean for throwaway work its fine but its kind of boring and aider still messes up from time to time | ||||||||

I probably lean on the sceptical side of the spectrum. I'm not against giving it a go if I can get value out of it but I'm not having the wonderful experience that these people are having. - The asynchronous nature of it slows me down and it feels the opposite of what this bloke is saying around getting into a flow. - I miss things because I'm not thinking it all the way through. - The issues with errors or hallucinations. - It does not feel faster (I might blow through a couple of things really fast, but the issues created elsewhere sometimes eat all that saved time up). - The quality of work is all over the shop. Bigger projects just fall apart after a while. I also wonder if the way I think is hindering me. I don't like natural language. I struggle to communicate at the best of times. All my emails are dot points. If someone asks me for a diagram I write it in plantuml or using a python library. I work in DevOps and love declarative manifests and templates. | ||||||||
