Again it's not about typing speed. High level plans simply don't work very well, especially for big tasks where the optimal solution actually would take 2k lines. Unless you are building something that is extremely generic, AI coming up with the optimal solution rarely ever happens.

Not a liar, and I'm sorry to say, but AI really doesn't take much skill to use. People who say such statements give me the impression that their ceiling for skills is quite low.
Their are areas I do and will continue to use AI and it works well enough. Giving me prototypes for projects I don't have a lot of knowledge about is one thing. But I use those prototypes to learn.

Don't do that... Sure get it to write you some SQL to update a table, but don't give it DB admin access for fucks sake.

Tell me, how is your agent able to deploy code more effectively than hitting merge on a PR? Or do you simply mean setting up CI/CD for you? That's usually a set and forget thing that doesn't take much time, so I'd rather do it myself.

Nope. Not universally true. It depends on randomness of the rng, the type of task, the agent, and also the current state of AI. Right now for frontier models... what you're saying is generally true only in the minority of times ime.

It does take a little skill. Very little and it requires new habits that are harder to pick up. For example. I never work on one project at a time anymore. I work on 5 projects and context switch between all of them. Prompt, switch, come back, prompt, switch, prompt switch, review... etc. That takes getting used to.
>I make templates I can copy and tweak to do this faster than it takes to tell an agent what to do.
I have a huge change, and within that change the agent does this automatically.
>Don't do that... Sure get it to write you some SQL to update a table, but don't give it DB admin access for fucks sake.
You can fuck off prick, don't fucking talk like that to my face. I do it and I have no problems with it. If you don't want to, that's your own fucking prerogative.
>Tell me, how is your agent able to deploy code more effectively than hitting merge on a PR? Or do you simply mean setting up CI/CD for you? That's usually a set and forget thing that doesn't take much time, so I'd rather do it myself.
Because the agent merges for me. Prompt: "Complete task A". Agent: "Task completed", Me: "reviewed and good to go"
The agent then does it's thing. Of course there's always some adjustments and more conversation then this but that's the jist of it.
