If we take Elon Musks approach to challenging engineering problems, which in this exact order is: 1. Question every requirement 2. Delete any part of the process you can 3. Simplify and optimize 4. Accelerate cycle time 5. Automate In my experience coding agents at the moment are really good at 4. and 5. and they absolutely suck at 1. and 2. 3, they are okay at if prompted well. Humans are okay at 1. and 2. IF they understand the system well and critically question requirements. With LLM generated codebases this system understanding is often missing. So you can't even start with 1.
