I tried agentic coding for a noncritical project, producing a not too incorrect but verbose, baroque, inefficient result. I need more practice in guiding an entity that writes code like a hyperactive student... I have (misplaced?) optimism that the "big guys" are vetting their results properly.

It takes a ton of work to figure out how to steer things correctly, then make sure it all stays on the rails. Dunno if it's as much as writing the code yourself depending on the task, but it's a totally different type of energy used to do it.
