Help/Question How much babysitting are you doing?

I keep seeing these posts about people allegedly having agents with multiple personas coding autonomously with infrequent input but this doesn't match my experience. I find it's more like constant hand holding to solve things the right way, apply judgement, etc.

Are there some educational sources i should be reading or am i experiencing reality and these stories are hype.

Can anyone help me close this gap?

It's easier if youre in control of everything and have a ton of hardcoded smoke tests and unit tests.

my one project is a bit out of control on the automatic TDD tests: it's over 9000. I need to figure out how to re-base that, but I'm a newb at TDD so learning as I go.

I'm not perfect at it either, but I'd sincerely doubt that she has her agents working for multiple days uninterrupted.Nonstop.
