I get some of the skepticism in this thread, but I don't get takes like this. How are you using cc that the output you look at is "full of errors"? By the time I look at the output of a session the agent has already ran linting, formatting, testing and so on. The things I look at are adherence to the conventions, files touched, libraries used, and so on. And the "error rate" on those has been steadily coming down. Especially if you also use a review loop (w/ codex since it has been the best at review lately).
You have to set these things up for success. You need loops with clear feedback. You need a project that has lots of clear things to adhere to. You need tight integrations. But once you have these things, if you're looking at "errors", you're doing something wrong IMO.
I don't think he meant like syntax errors, but thinking errors. I get these a lot with CC. Especially for example with CSS. So much useless code it produces, it blows my mind. Once I deleted 50 lines of code and manually added 4 which was enough to fix the error.
