I went through it all.
talk to ai. specs. epics. tickets. IDE’s, cli’s, tmux, codex, glm, cursor, claude code, copilot, whatever.
The bottom line as of today, I still have to read the code. I prefer to iterate alongside with it.
Triaging bugs is also tricky, you can’t trust it’s own triaging (no matter to how many AI agents you pass it through).
I left it a couple of times working at night autonomously and the result over morning were horrible (it did what I asked it to do but the spirals, the scope creeps, are unmanagable, so I dont really do that anymore).
No matter how many upfront guidance etc, it will stray away. you have to hold its hands – unless its a hobby project you really dont care how its built.
Having said all it’s its still ~X5 faster than doing it all by hand before AI era, and coding by hand is dead.
