A coworker had me work through a particular problem (some no-importance web demo) with Cursor and Sonnet 4.6. It still sucked, but there was a qualitative shift in suckiness, one that I realized could finally be used to solve some real problems I had if I wrote an appropriate harness and used good enough models.

I still find it mandatory to write a lot of kinds of code by hand, but I write a lot of code with agents too now, and I previously literally didn't think that'd happen in <5yrs.
