alt Hacker News> Yes, I don't have anything important to say other than I 100% agree with this comment. AI in its current state is akin to Stack Overflow and Google on steroids, but from my experience, it doesn't do well building out full-scale applications other than perhaps some initial scaffolding.
We're currently using it to build out a full-scale application. It does as well as you care to coax into doing tbh. You have to invest heavily in harness engineering, and at least my experience has been that as you do that, the results improve.

In my experience, you’ll eventually hit a context window issue and it will just start spouting gibberish/doing wrong things, and nothing will significantly improve it. But hey, maybe it’s improved.

That is also my experience.
When starting a project I observe how the agent fails, I add new rules to the harness to prevent it from falling and repeat the process until I am happy with the output.
