An important point here is that it isnt doing a 1-shot implementation, it is iteratively solving a problem over multiple iterations, with a closed feedback loop.

Create the right agentic feedback loop and a reasoning model can perform far better through iteration than its first 1-shot attempt.

This is very human. How much code can you reliable write without any feedback? Very little. We iterate, guided by feedback (compiler, linter, executing and exploring)

These Xmas there have been a lot of converted programmers after having some free time and playing with things like Codex, Claude Code, AMP...

This basically sums up where we're at. Undeniably useful but careful in approach.
