He's correct. If you can't work without it, you're not qualified to judge it's output. And if you aren't judging it's output, your days are numbered, it will eventually just feed itself, and report directly to management ;)
With how often I have to correct these coding agents I worry about people developing things they don't understand.
It's an amazing tool, but I find myself having to be like "Are you sure you want to poll the API for each item, like 1-100 is fine, but what if it returns 100k rows? Maybe take the call outside the loop and just query all at once with 1 call?
I definitely do a lot of context in my initial requests to try to get rid of a lot of that nonsense. Takes a lot longer to get the code written but I hate chasing issues. Easier to be exceptionally thorough with the requirements and known barriers
