I write all my code with LLMs (Opus)

but I can say that, anyone experienced will notice how you really can't just "let them loose" on the codebase because they'll lose context, not understand the architecture, not have good vision/ideas about the codebase etc.

so I'm bottlenecked by following the code generation and then having to review and respond

and there's so many times where I go "wait but can't we just do x?" and then the model goes, "oh let me see.. yes we can"

if you were to just use agents w/o looking at code you'd have complete spaghetti in no time

maybe the future is that you embrace the spaghetti and just treat code as a black box where all you care about is the input/output

but my intuition tells me that it's not really viable yet. you'll take many steps forward and many steps back.

Hahahahaha it’s like boom and bust, I’m hitting that limit right now with something I’m working on. You push velocity too hard then hit a wall of bugs, then the agent gets a stern talking to and you go back and refactor :)
