I tried letting an agent do everything and just prompting it, and I damn near lost my mind. I have no idea how people enjoy it. Arguing with the AI has got to be among my top 10 most infuriating experiences ever.
That aside, I can make it do amazing things when it has something good and solid to work on. I realized that I need to set the foundation of logic that governs the software myself, and then the AI has a coherent "simulated reality" it can work within in. But it takes someone who lives in reality to make such a place in cyberspace in enough detail that an AI can do its best work. For me, prompts and specs don't cut it. I also need to write the code.
