I think it’s true that people get enjoyment from different things. Also, I wonder if people have fixed ideas about how coding agents can be used? For example, if you care about what the code looks like and want to work on readability, test coverage, and other “code health” tasks with a coding agent, you can do that. It’s up to you whether you ask it to do cleanup tasks or implement new features.

Maybe there are people who are about literally typing the code, but I get satisfaction from making the codebase nice and neat, and now I have power tools. I am just working on small personal projects, but so far, Claude Opus 4.5 can do any refactoring I can describe.
