Why do all of that when you can just keep a tight hold on an agent that is operating at the speed that you can think about what you're actually doing?
Again, if you're just looking to spend a lot of money on the party trick, don't let me yuck your yum. It just seems like doing things in a way that is almost guaranteed to lead to the outcomes that people love to complain aren't very good.
As someone getting excellent results on a huge (550k LoC) codebase only because I'm directing every feature, my bottleneck is always going to be the speed at which I can coherently describe what needs to be done + a reasonable amount of review to make sure that what happened is what I was looking for. This can only work because I explicitly go through a planning cycle before handing it to the agent.
I feel like if you consider understanding what your LLM is doing for you to be unacceptably slow and burdensome, then you deserve exactly what you're going to get out of this process.
