The silent part is "undirected". You can patch these holes by observing them and the author us aware. By itself, these are the flaws.

I think speed is the biggest flaw though. If i could get variable speed while planning vs building, thatd change some things. I run local models, so i am mostly in the slow lane. When patching these flaws, i want it to read the code parts and diagnose quickly.

When its coding, i want to see the problems its encountering with the prompt. I usually observe its thinking a few rounds and if it misunderstands, i redirect.

But in all of this, i want a dial that just speeds up once i feel its doing the right thing.

SOTA today, to me, would put a model floor like qwen3.8-flash-next on a platform i can dial up the speed. Thats all. I think many of us will bring our own harness, so the only hard point is how dumb the engineers tools are.

Since im building local, my tools do a lot more management. So.e of tge opinions i see on HN trigger a "skill issue" reflex because we have a whole shopping mall now if tools and the incurious seem oblivious to how these models are used by cloud providers.

Learning about the raw capabilities of LLMs makes getting them to "do the right thing" is now just a job description.

Lastly, the last decade of tech oligarchy exposes how little education elites had about humanity and wicked problems. Elon musk reinventing public transportation several times ignorantly. The fact that a social program requires the consent of the people it helps. LLMs are a stark lesson in the difficulty of knowing all the constituent parts and still being unable to predict outcomes.
