Totally hear you — LLM agents feel like having a hyperactive junior dev who can code at lightning speed... but also makes up wild solutions with confidence.

And yeah, it’s not just about picking a working path — it’s about picking a sane one. Right now, it’s like rolling dice between “elegant abstraction” and “what were you thinking?”

As for cost — 100%. It’s like hiring a genius consultant who charges by the token. Feels powerful, but not always practical for day-to-day stuff.

What we really need? Smarter defaults Embedded feedback loops Lightweight inference for local/cheap use
