my life is now generating 1500 LoCs diff in 2~3 prompt, and then doing tens of round trips to fix the structure of the code. Ultimately it's still faster than writing it myself but it's somewhat draining.

one gotcha with Go language server is that it fails with conditional compilation, so if you plug gopls in your coding agent and use conditional compilation (multi-OS, smoke test, etc), you're likely hurting yourself.

TFW when you edit a text in Opus 4.8, remove a LLM form, review it in GPT-5.5 and it adds *exactly the same formulation back*. Yay for training diversity.

Told my coding agents to never document code. I prompt it to document when it actually matters, i.e. there's subtleties that are not obvious from reading the code due to external factors. The code is so much cleaner and the agent is less confused as there's no documentation drift.
