I do find it to be true that with coding agents the famous quote from Jurassic Park goes through my head multiple time a day

"our scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they never stopped to ask if they should.

I've now come to the realization that if I'm having an llm work constantly all day writing code for me i'm probably doing something wrong as I'm no longer focusing on the core issue itself.

I may be in a minority here in that I write code to augment my self and not to ship to others so I can tell very quickly if I'm just gold platting something or if i'm actually delivering real value to my trading or risk management.
