Great point, I've found Sonnet really can't be beat on many tasks, but increasingly finding Gemini-Pro and o3 handle the tough bugs and refactors best. That's why I've been using agro to launch agents from each of the ma

Yes I agree: highly-focused-scope + low-stakes + high-chorelike-task is the sweet spot for agents currently. I wrote a little about one such task, getting agents to supplement my markdown dev-log here: https://github.com/sut
