This is probably slower than writing the code yourself. Doesn't make sense to me. Using an agent without YOLO mode is not wort it.

The way I rather do it is tightly control the output by skills written yourself, prompts, plans, etc. and have the closest possible outcome you would write yourself.

Not really if it takes you 15 minutes to write a 50 line function but it takes the AI 90 seconds then you already are at a 10x speedup just for this task.

This (non-yolo mode AI coding) is actually how we used to code in the old days (2023).
