I have full faith coding agents will be able to completely nuke entire classes of employees after using them. I mean, that's the goal right? Joblessness? That said, they are also capable of creating unholy messes in your code base, true monsters that seem touched by Satan himself — that are also totally functional and work as intended to the user. But then again who among us has not handwritten some ghetto code? And does it matter when you can double back and have an AI unfuck it, anyway? I am so close to the finish line on a project and staring at a beautiful monster.

Well I paid for Pro. But OMG. I finally stepped back now that it's (functionally) done to add polish by hand and it's a disaster. It reminds me of like, how you can cook or make crafts and clean up after yourself as you go ... or you can not. Cursor does NOT. There is trash everywhere. My Gosh lol

great cooking analogy! I started out using AI coding agents like mise-en-place and trying to understand everything as I went. But now I think it's inefficient, and regularly ask the agent to suggest popular libraries and "idiomatic" patterns, instead of exposing a happy-path implementation that they learned from a tutorial. A lot of people said, Oh great we can ask AI to write our tests (a chore, like vacuuming, that humans can do better than machines, but tire of it before it's done) and then write the code for them. Unfortunately, web projects are kinda bad for tests, especially bleeding-edge things like Frames v2. (Cloudflare is actually pretty great for tests btw)

I agree with you that “mise-en-place” is wildly inefficient. I liked it, and still do, because I feel like it ensures I am not totally stupid. But you are quite slow. My beef with Cloudflare is simply that I have to surrender my domain to them to use their object storage solution. I have ONE domain registrar for EVERYTHING and deeply dislike breaking that 😂

I made a separate domain for R2 stuff. It mostly just works for serving static assets, from just about everywhere. Like, big videos or landing-page images that I want served from the edge, and don't want to pay an expensive hosting provider for egress. I'm also quite happy that CF passes through wholesale domain name registration fees :) these are smallish costs but every penny counts for meeeeee
