I'm only writing 5-10% of my own code at this point. The AI tools are good, it just seems like people that don't like them expect them to be 100% automatic with no hand holding.

Like people in here complaining about how poor the tests are... but did they start another agent to review the tests? Did they take that and iterate on the tests with multiple agents?

I can attest that the first pass of testing can often be shit. That's why you iterate.

So far, by the time I’m done iterating, I could have just written it myself. Typing takes like no time at all in aggregate. Especially with AI assisted autocomplete. I spend far more time reading and thinking (which I have to do to write a good spec for the AI anyways).
