I'm bringing to suspect a lot of my great experiences with coding agents come from the fact that they can run tests to confirm they haven't broken anything.
It’s kind of annoying hearing all this skepticism from people putting in the least effort into optimally using the tool. There is a learning curve. Every month I’ve gotten better results than the last because I’m constantly context building and refining, understanding how, what and when to prompt.
It’s like hearing someone say database suck but they haven’t bothered to learn about or use indexes or foreign keys.
