> When I task my agent a hard problem and it comes back with a 5000 line PR that I don't follow I reject it and work it into a better shape. I certainly don't slam it into production because it has a 'high signal' of the program I asked for.
??? That's literally what everyone does. You are creating a hypothetical that is nonsensical. Here's your hypothetical:
1. Agent gives you 5000 lines of slop
2. You reject it and just do it yourself
This is reality
1. Agent gives you 5000 lines of slop
2. you realise that it has done a lot of research and is mostly in the correct direction and you ask it nicely to refine it
3. verify that you understood it and push it to prod
Are mathematicians babies that they need a completely different approach?
