Agreed. I finally got around to setting up a system in a mostly isolated subnet to play with agentic coding recently, and I was reasonably surprised at how not awful the result was. Still won’t trust the fuck to spit out anything without supervision.
All I wanted was to make a debug version of a FOSS app I use because the official app is lacking basic features. It took a few attempts, but it solved my issues and spat out an answer that was the minimum viable patch (after instructing it to do so and not edit a dozen unnecessary files) that looks reasonable. I never got into android apps, but I understand the syntax well enough to know it didn’t do anything horribly out of pocket.
