I'm beginning to suspect that a key skill in working effectively with coding agents is developing an intuition for when you don't need to closely review every line of code they produce. This feels deeply uncomfortable!

Only use agents when the correctness of the resulting code is easily verifiable and short, like a small bash script or stuff. Otherwise use your thinking meat. Problem is, easily verifiable scripts are also written extremely fast without code agents. So code agents are probably a waste of money
