I use agents almost all day and I do way more thinking than I used to, this is why I’m now more productive. There is little thinking required to produce output, typing requires very little thinking. The thinking is all in the planning… If the LLM output is bad in any given file I simply step in and modify it, and obviously this is much faster than typing every character.
I’m spending more time planning and my planning is more comprehensive than it used to be. I’m spending less time producing output, my output is more plentiful and of equal quality. No generated code goes into my commits without me reviewing it. Where exactly is the problem here?
