I really enjoyed this article, and I found it very well summarised my own thoughts and experience with coding with agents, and opened my eyes to even more unexplored possibilities.
I started working on a project a couple of years ago, as a hobby, and I'm currently not sure I would have had the courage to start it, if I had anticipated what it requires, in time and effort, to get it done properly.
I won't claim I know every implementation detail, but I trust it follows the strict coding and architectural guidelines I have provided in my CLAUDE.md, and while doing so, it writes far better code than I could have ever dreamed of (I am at best average at it, no false modesty).
Where I think those agents excels is at troubleshooting issues. It takes Claude 5 minutes to identify and fix a problem where I would have spent hours, if not days.
I find myself focusing more on unit, integration, and e2e tests than I used to, this is my way of dealing with the omnipresent fear of getting too reliant on these tools, and losing touch and control...
Too many words for how much meaning they provided, but I like the meaning.
tldr you can build bleeding edge things from scratch again + #1250807
Now we just write boilerplate in CLAUDE.md in every repo.
