Comment on AI coding is a nightmare. Am I the only one experiencing this?

These problems come from giving LLMs too much agency. The fix is to ruthlessly manage context yourself, and use a harness that only allows one LLM response at a time. Don't leave context up to the LLM, and check everything it is doing. This gives you most of the speed increase while still giving you clean, concise, human-reviewed code.
