I've basically stopped using agentic AI completely as I've found the easy wins it gets me almost always come with tons of debt I have to pay down later. I specifically find the loss of situational awareness that comes with agentic development to cost far more than the utility I get from the code it writes.

As a result of this I've switched almost entirely to using qwen-coder3 locally in FIM autocomplete mode, and that's been pretty fantastic. Since I'm still doing most of the programming myself I keep the codebase loaded up in my brain the way I'm used to but so much of the tedium of programming is accelerated by the mind-reading autocomplete with 300ms latency (to useful completion, not first token).

Agents are neat but fundamentally it's a hack on top of the best autocomplete you could imagine, I find using it to do the thing it actually does gives me by far the best UX.
