When I first used agentic coding I was already doing strict TDD and I just tried using it for the refactor step.

It sucked so hard I thought the idea of agentic coding was just a joke. Ive tried it periodically and it literally never stopped sucking.

I figure if it cant do that part it isnt worth using it for any part.

Ever since then whenever people tell me it's gotten better I've tried it out and nope, still sucks.

I still get gaslit about how well it works by people who just discovered TDD though, and watch it power through CRUD boilerplate getting impressed, blissfully unaware that boilerplate spew is an antipattern.
