Disagree. While it's easier to 1-shot more things now, when there's more complicated interaction of components, a good plan from plan mode can make the project a "looks good, go" and run overnight thing vs. "steering" needed.
How many thousands of dollars are you burning a month on “looks good, go” and then *letting it run overnight*?? I spend enough money on 8 human, interruptible and human-thinking hours with paused hours.
I can’t imagine how high that number would go if I got rid of the collaborative style and also the “please don’t run scary commands on random directories without permission” mode.
Write a good high level plan with functional and non-functional requirements and it works out costing less, works more efficiently, and no surprises.
It’s like this: If you know the right words to say to the LLM, you’ll likely get back the “right words” also. And the more right words up front, the less steering you need to do.
