Given all the hype that LLMs have got and the valuations these AI companies are getting, I am disappointed at how even the "best" coding agents degrade over time.

WTF - I need to implement a review command to guide to do its job properly.

Can you imagine any other industry charging people money for a product like this ?

When you are charging people money - scratching the surface cannot be an excuse.

There’s a saying for this - “don’t ship your first draft”.

Its first attempt WILL be crap. You can refine its output in the loop as a human, or let it go and then do a quality pass post-hoc.

The beauty of the latter is you can codify and automate a subset of the work, and the agent can loop until those bars are cleared then you get a higher quality work product to look at.
