When I'm working on a difficult piece of software there are all these moments of introspection dredged up by the friction that make me continually question if it's the right way to do things or the appropriate direction. Coding agents remove a lot of that. It's easier to go the wrong way longer.

That's not to say I don't *plan* up front (regardless of whether I'm using an agent or not). It's fairly common to learn during the process though. I still learn during the process with agents, but the learnings can sometimes be delayed.

Do you find that the friction makes you rethink technical aspects or product oriented ones?

LLMs for coding should be like tablets and phones for children: you can't use them until your old enough, otherwise you have absolutely no idea what you're getting yourself into.
