Totally helpful and I believe accurate. I find the times where I’m actually most productive with coding agents are not super fun, instead it’s iterative manual qa and code review hell. But while that actually results in good, usable code it’s not addictive, quite the opposite it feels like work. Whereas starting from scratch vibe coding a whatever-ma-jigger sure feels like a blast until I actually start pushing at edge cases.
