I can write succinct code slowly, agents can write verbose code fast.

Depends on use case

I have a Stackoverflow mode for my agents (essentially a tutor) and sometimes I spend time hand coding but heavily guided by an agent. It helps A LOT to make careful tradeoff when succinct and line by line care matters.
