The example in the video was a generation of a dashboard app of some sort. I can do that with a "normal speed" Claude in a few minutes. The difference is a few minutes. This is compared to a few weeks in old school development time. I don't have a problem with taking it a little "slow" (as in - few minutes) and lending my thought to it rather than just going for fast generation and who knows what's inside. I get your use case, but this is a specialised one, and not the one 90% of people will think of - everyone want that fast app in 12 seconds... Or so it seems from me being downvoted on that comment.

I frequently tell agent to do something, wait ~10 min (which is just enough that I can't/don't want to start anything else), ask it to change something, wait a few minutes again, and so on. So I'm basically idle while waiting for agent, and it would be great if it was faster.

It's like your compile times were ~10 min. Sure, it's not a huge deal, but it's sooo anoying

10 minutes sounds like a very long time. Maybe I'm using it differently but I don't see those wait times. I give specific instructions, and use pro plans, and the turnaround is fast.
