maybe i'm just not good enough of a programmer to use coding agents, i guess? i definitely don't trust my ability to know whether or not some code will do what i want it to do just by looking at it
@aparrish (obligatory disclaimer: I’m flailing in the dark with this stuff just like everybody else) I find myself spending much more of my dev time finding alternative ways to get that understanding without reading (all of) the code. LLM agents are good for that too, writing smaller scripts that pull out and visualise (deterministically!) important information. And also refactoring (more thoroughly than I would have time for without agents) to emphasise patterns that are easy to scan-and-agree.
