Errors compound, and making 1000 wrong decisions per hour, will not result in something useful. Maybe you‘ve tried setting up guardrails for good design or architecture at some point? I think it’s simply not possible to do that.
replyIt would certainly be an accelerator for people who know exactly what they want. And it would remove multi tasking, which I‘d appreciate.
This is the same pitch that people make about AI today. Speed isn’t the differentiator, quality is
replyI'm not sure inference speed is always the slowest thing for me right now. The agent is running tests, loading webpages, etc, which all take time. I don't know if a fast agent would speed things up in all cases.
replyThat said, it obviously depends on the project.

replyA frustrating vision of the future would be when we've been asking for faster loading lighter web pages for years and then companies start caring about it and improving it not for us humans but for LLMs.
It's already kind of that way with MCP servers popping up everywhere. The JIRA MCP server is like a couple orders of magnitude faster to work with than the website itself.
replyThat’s their API with extra steps, or am I missing something? That was always faster.
replyThey finally cared about clear requirements and documentation when that meant getting rid of devs.
replyThat happened at corpo work for each of:
* Build times
* CI latency
* Developer tooling
* Documentation
* Modularity
reply> I now spend most of my time, as a developer, waiting for the agent to do its thing (after careful prompting, I'm also thinking about work stuff, don't worry I'm not useless).
replyyou need to launch 10-15 more terminals, who is waiting these days? :)
I think this reads like Ray Kurzwheil (sorry not able to spell that off top of my head, that bloke who wrote that book about the future) .. But yeah very dystopian and totally realistic. Not if but when..
replyI LOVE Kurzwheil! Thank you for the compliment, I'm very far from having his writing skills. But yes sci-fi is looking more and more like, well, sci.
