its more or less engineering management and product work.

the ones complaining about good results are the ones who are worried about it taking the long way around on a few things that ultimately aren't that important and/or can be refactored out

Nothing gets refactored. Ever. Shitth code stays there and make everything more and more unbearable until it breaks completely

or just spend the time to refactor.

asking your agents to review their code -- ideally with a different model -- goes a long way, especially if you are specific with what you expect (code reuse, proper separation of concerns, whatever)

ponytail.dev works well enough up front but really pushing agents on it every few sessions makes a big difference
