My experience has been that I can't.

I've just started up a new gig where I'm swearing off any agents, I'm even not looking up answers with an LLM. There's nothing so crazy I'm doing SO still doesn't have the answer.

So far, I'm having a great time. I'm progressing quickly, understanding the domain better.

I'm also finishing an older job at the moment, which has been almost 100 percent agent-driven. Real brain-dead drudge work, there's no flow to get into with these things. I'm not sure it's been any quicker than the old-fashioned way. Certainly a lot less fun.
