I am absolutely more productive using agents. I don't know the factor but it's large. However much of that productivity is spent tuning the agents and hardening the product. I'm guessing 30%-40%.
Some might consider that a waste; but I don't. The software I'm creating nowadays is vastly more robust than I'd ever been able to create manually.
I don't mean that the code is better. I mean the surrounding tests are vastly better. I have a higher degree of confidence than I ever had manually -- even when I used very disciplined TDD and Acceptance testing.
And then there's the ability to quickly reorganize the modules and the architecture while keeping those robust tests running. That is a tremendous boon.
@dlom234 If you were good at coding without LLMs, then this rant applies to you most of all -- because you know that the most important parts of programming do not include coding.
@unclebobmartin@KentBeck The GOTO had to be restricted behind the discipline of Structured Programming. Perhaps AI needs a discipline? Perhaps AI restricted modularization? And Lots of tests?
@RT_com That's sickening. What a terrible place. What is wrong with people? Just throwing your trash anywhere? Making it someone else's problem. Have some human decency.
