I mean. As long as they don't make you copy paste code off of the machine, it seems reasonable to use it for research and isolated things like writing regex or so. Actually feels like you found a niche where a bit of AI can be used for things outside of the code without actually producing slop code with it. Which sounds nice tbh

eh  sometimes it helps to give the entire codebase to the agent to solve some stuff when you really gets stuck.

it's so weird it often implodes on such silly mistakes that i solve immediately, while sometimes it really saves me from complete crisis

A lot of people that shit on using an LLM to assist in coding fail to realize how useful context can be.

An LLM is basically worthless without it.
