So at what point are you doing more work on the agent than working on the code directly ? And what are you losing in the process of shifting from the code author to LLM manager ?
My experience is that once I switch to this mode when something blows up I'm basically stuck with a bunch of code that I sort of know, even tough I reviewed it. I just don't have the same insight as I would if I wrote the code, no ownership, even if it was committed in my name. Like any misconceptions I've had about how things work I will still have because I never had to work through the solution, even if I got the final working solution.
