+1 this approach. One recurring issue I've ran into is the agents producing a lot of unused methods and files. Have you ran into this as well? We're working on a pure Typescript system, and found the package Knip helpful. Knip will report these deadfiles/methods. I ask Sonnet to run Knip before opening a merge request and have it clean up it's own mess.

I'm surprised that people still aren't discussing Github Copilot baked into VSCode. I pair agent mode + Sonnet 4 + Sequential Thinking + Tavily MCP servers and it works wonders. I recently prototyped the first version of our SaaS with this setup in a minimal amount of time. Also worth nothing, the pricing is extremely reasonable. Free credits + pay per use. I frequently max out the free tier and have never spent more than $40 per month.

I want to be able to buy and sell cars as easy as trading Pokemon cards. There's lots of issues around fraud, scams, and trust in the car industry. So I've been working on building an online car escrow service I'm calling Carma Pay that de-risks buying or selling cars, while making it faster and a better experience.

I'm also a student at WSU and will be pitching at our business plan competition. https://carmapay.com
