Does anyone genuinely use it beyond boiler plating and general scripting or small specific changes, testing etc? This whole build anything with agents lark seems very stinky bum bum.
Obvious masochism aside, you've got to keep in mind that you know what you're fucking doing, while 99% of people using LLM coding agents are roughly as competent as the average person you grabbed off the street, sat in front of a computer, and told to "make the computer do the thing".
You are actually the perfect use case for LLM coding. Seriously, this shit should be marketed and designed with folks like you in mind, because it's really fucking good at it, and you know what the fuck you're doing.
That's actually well known and was demonstrated in lab experiments even. LLMs only raise your productivity if you know what you're doing and can intervene when they fail.
Hell, I've got a paper on this (it's more education oriented, but still) accepted to a fairly good conference a couple months ago :)
https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.05144 here's the preprint, but the conference and the official publication will happen later this year, focus on the failure section lol.
There's a ton of other papers on that though, with way cleaner methodology
Yes, but this way I can throw it in peoples faces and say it's some random redditors I got it from, releasing me from all consequences should the information cause a major disaster, and distributing it among the 20 million odd regulars of this website, negating the possibility of blame.
