My experience with coding agents is they need a lot of hand-holding.
They're impressive despite that. But if Sonnet is $20/month and I have to intervene every 3 minutes, while Opus is $100/month and I have to intervene every 5 minutes? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- runako 1y agoReally depends on who's paying the bill, and how much gets done between interventions, right? Inverting the problem, one might ask how best to spend (say) $5,000 monthly on coding agents. I don't know the answer to that.
- epolanski 1y ago> My experience with coding agents is they need a lot of hand-holding. So do engineers. The difference is that IRL engineers know a lot about the context of the business, features, product, ux, stakeholders, expectations, etc, etc which means that the hand-holding is a long running process. LLMs need all of these things to be clearly written down and specified in one shot.
