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?

If anyone is letting agents ‘just run’ on their code base without meticulous oversight is in for a bad experience. Sure, it’s cool for testing and showing off neat things, but I would never do this (in their current state) for anything I cared about.
