hegdeguru··on Ask HN: Do you read your coding agent's plans before approving?
My real fear is whether AI actually built what I asked it to build, and whether, in the process of building it, it also built things that I would not have approved of had I known.

The point is to be in control and in the loop. The current state of AI is that it is myopic. It doesn't see the bigger picture.

Not using or resisting AI is definitely stupid. The goal is to understand things so that you know what questions to ask.

Damn! 30 agents...

How do you even keep track of what's happening where? And won't you end up spending almost as much time verifying that what you intended was actually built as you would have spent building it yourself one after the other?

I'm new to HN. It is permissible here to share what you're building and request for feedback?

How's it working out for you? Because I hate reading that walls of text the agent throws at me

That's reasonable

As the projects get bigger, don't you feel the need to understand what's happening? How things exactly work? What interacts with what? etc

Dont you feel lost? Like you no longer control the codebase or understand it fully.
