I have no pressure to use LLMs for agentic coding, so I haven’t tried that hard, to be honest. I use LLMs to generate initial code drafts and to perform logical refactors (those which classic mechanical refactoring tools are unsuitable for) that I then touch up or revise manually. Basically, areas where it actually saves time while still fully controlling the design of the code and reasoning through all aspects of the implementation. I don’t see how agentic coding can save time without giving up some level of diligence, coherence, and attention to detail, which I’m not willing to do.
