I think I've come full circle back to the idea that a human should write the high-level code unassisted, and the LLM should autocomplete the glue code and draft the function implementations. The important part is that the human maintains these narrow boundaries and success criteria within them. The better the scaffolding, the better the result.

Nothing else really seems to make sense or work all that well.

On the one extreme you have people wanting the AI to write all the code on vibes. On the other extreme you have people who want agents that hide all low-level details behind plain english except the tool calls. To me these are basically the same crappy result where we hide the code the wrong way.

I feel like what we really need is templating instead of vibes or agent frameworks. Put another way, I just want the code folding in my editor to magically write the code for me when I unfold. I just want to distribute that template and let the user run it in a sandbox. If we're going to hide code from the user at least it's not a crazy mess behind the scenes and the user can judge what it actually does when the template is written in a "literate code" style.

Feels like you're talking about pseudocode?
