Hmm you can tweak fine these days without messing up context. But, I run in “ask mode” only, with opus in claude code and o3 max in cursor. I specifically avoid agent mode because, like in the post, I feel like I gain less over time.

I infrequently tab complete. I type out 80-90% of what is suggested, with some modifications. It does help I can maintain 170 wpm indefinitely on the low-medium end.

Keeping up with the output isn’t much an issue at the moment given the limited typing speed of opus and o3 max. Having gained more familiarity with the workflow, the reading feels easier. Felt too fast at first for sure.

My hot take is that if GitHub copilot is your window into llms, you’re getting the motel experience.
