2-3 day refactors in an afternoon
In the thread “Ask HN: Do you have any evidence that agentic coding works?”
Helped: Reproing bugs, manual tests, and detailed requirements.
Got in the way: Model gets stuck on assumptions, creating new bugs.
… All in all, I think it's working for me. I'll tackle 2-3 day refactors in an afternoon. But obviously there's a learning curve and having the technical skills to know what you want will give you much better results.
