> Feedback helps, right. But if you've got a problem where a simple, contained feedback loop isn't that easy to build, the only source of feedback is yourself. And that's when you are exposed to the stupidity of current AI models.

That's exactly the point. Modern coding agents aren't smart software engineers per se; they're very very good goal-seekers whose unit of work is code. They need automatable feedback loops.
