“I find that social media often gives oversimplified descriptions of how to use coding agents. For example, it is sometimes useful to get agents to run autonomously for hours and burn millions or tens of millions of tokens. But currently the practical utility of very long-horizon tasks — especially relative to their cost — has been amplified beyond reality. Instead, most effective coding agent use is a complex, highly iterative process, and being able to intervene with high-skill judgement gives much better results.”
