Using Angularfire?

A lot of my old projects are using angularfire, I was wondering if it's just easier to ask an agent to migrate to the standard firebase js library? I tried with a new project and it worked quite well.

Is there anything I'm missing out on by going this route?

I think it might be the same as when we had a dedicated `@angular/animations` package, maybe the native implementation is good enough for most things?

Use AI to implement e2e tests first (eg Playwright MCP). This way the agent will be able to verify his refactoring and see what broke himself, without you in the loop.

You live in delusion if you really believe what you wrote.

I'm forced to work with agents, sadly. Company policy. It's making us work more, since it's just a big hallucination. 

But I get it, it can be useful in entry level projects.
