Interesting read, but I'm perhaps even less convinced than before that chat-oriented programming is a better use of my time than learning to write the thing myself. Especially having to work about token quotas is frightening; I don't have to spend any money to think for as long as the problem requires me to, but each "thought" you make the LLM agent do is cents if not dollars up in flames.
I'll continue to play around with self-hosted, local models for now.
