You'll need nerves of steel to work with AI agents

It genuinely astonishes me that there are still people such as yourself on HN asking this question.

I understood there were still people asking this 12 months ago. But still?

You could only possibly be doubting the time savings if you simply haven't used agentic development, whether Claude Code or other.

You have to understand, by now you basically sound like someone asking how much time you could be saving by writing in Python, instead of just jumping right in and coding assembly yourself.

If you're still asking the question, you just need to bite the bullet and try it.

I've used Claude Code. It produces no time savings.

Surely you must understand that that sounds as believable as "I've used programming languages. They produce no time savings over assembly language."

If you post something like that, all it says is that you're either trolling or don't know what you're doing.

There are some very specific areas where it might not help, just the same as there are times where writing assembly is still better.

So what exactly is your motivation in saying "It produces no time savings"? Something so obviously false? I just don't get it.
