It’s entirely possible that the people talking up agents also produced spaghetti code but don’t care because they are so much more “productive”.

An interesting thing about many of these types of posts is they never actually detail the tools they use and how they use them to achieve their results. It shouldn’t even be that hard for them to do, they could just have their agent do it for them.

You may be right. The author of this one even says if you spend time prettying your code you should stop yak shaving. They apparently don't care about code quality.

The agent/model being used makes a huge difference. Cline with Claude 3.7 is ridiculously expensive but useful. Copilot is vaguely ok.

Even just doing the cut and paste thing for one shots, claude sonnet 4 writes good rust code, generally on the first try.
