I had to repeat how I named things so it wouldn't rename things or change naming conventions. I had a much higher "Reject" ratio. I think I can see this on my cursor dashboard - but I rejected over 50% of what it created in the first few months. Now I accept a lot more - part of that is going with the vibes as they say. I still read my code, but I feel less particular about it. Because it doesn't make mistakes like renaming things, I tolerate other things. Like everyone else I feel like my process is different every week. I think the main difference is I've had a lot more time to make my "peace" with this way of working. When I lost my hands my only alternative was dictating character by character. I feel deep gratitude for this technology, which eclipses any anxiety or frustration that bubbles up. The debate is still strong here with many people saying it only produces slop, etc. It's like watching people go through the stages of grief. And I guess I've reached acceptance. I may come off as an 'advocate' but I think I am neutral on agentic coding. It's a new modality. It has pros and cons.
