For me, Copilot is the sweet spot (or insert your favorite auto-complete tool). It saves me significant time when coding and I’ve gotten really good at knowing when it pause for 1-2 seconds and then have it spit out the suggestion I hoped it would. Agentic workflows are cool and have their place but essentially turn me into a full time code reviewer. Sometimes that’s acceptable/ok, sometimes I don’t like it. Essentially, if the agent gets even slightly off the path I want it on, I need to just do it myself. I give up on trying to prompt my out of a mistake it made. You get stuck thinking “one more prompt/round and it will fix the problem and everything will be perfect”, then you find yourself 4+ rounds in with the agent flip-flopping between 2 things it’s already tried.
