You are making it too hard on yourself. Most people would just paste the ticket URL and type "fix this", then spend the next 3 hours on social media.
OTOH, I try hard to provide all possibly relevant context, manually copy/paste logs to reduce context overhead, always ask to produce an implementation plan and review it before making any code changes. Yet I often feel like a dinosaur here, all coworkers who tout "LLM productivity" just type a few words in and let the agent spin for hours without any guidance.
I'd call that irresponsible use. One of the principles I try to stick by is to never offload any major decisionmaking to the LLM without oversight. Because some percentage of the decisions it makes are going to be wrongful (and more often just against my taste).
