IMO, a key passage that's buried:

"You can ask the agent for advice on ways to improve your application, but be really careful; it loves to “improve” things, and is quick to suggest adding abstraction layers, etc. Every single idea it gives you will seem valid, and most of them will seem like things that you should really consider doing. RESIST THE URGE..."

A thousand times this. LLMs love to over-engineer things. I often wonder how much of this is attributable to the training data...
