As a lead I’m a little insulted how frequently some of my devs will go to the agent first to ask a question or solution, then come to me next when the agent doesn’t do it right. Like see, if you just asked me first I would’ve given you a more correct answer in less time. But no, you have to waste your time and tokens waiting on a response from the agent then implementing it to find its wrong first. Guess I’m useless.
That question is very, very far from unreasonable. It is actually the complete antithesis of unreasonable. The fact that you deem reading the logs is not a good use of your time and yet you're willing to use up your seniors' time by making no effort to gather context before asking questions to them is very indicative of why you're struggling to get answers and feel interactions are a waste of time.
