Working with AI centric IDE on the mature codebase needs different skill set that I suspect related to people management. As the pattern would be describing a problem well, making a good plan, delegate and giving feedback.

On the other side, getting a good flow is not trivial. I had to tweak rules, how to describe problem, how to plan the work and how to ask the agent. It takes time to be productive.

Eg. Asking agent to create a script to do string manipulation is better than asking them to do inplace edit. As it's easier to debug and repeat.
