I’d take it even further: I want to see the prompts! I’ll concede we’ve arrived at a point where the coding agents work, but I’m still unconvinced they’re actually saving anyone time. From my AI-pilled coworkers, it appears they’re all spending half an hour creating a plan with hyper-specific prompts, like “make this specific change to lines XXX-YYY in this file”, “move this function over here and change the args”, etc. As far as I can tell, this is current best practice, and I’ve tried it, but I’m always disappointed with the either the quality or the speed, usually both.
