I recently (2 days ago) noticed i enjoy it a lot more if i use a super fast model with low reasoning (gpt 6 luna low effort + fast mode). That way, i can still have hands on the entire time and dont have to wait around for 20minutes for it to finish up and have made a bunch of decisions without me.

Also, LLMs are first and foremost excellent at reading ultra fast. Makes it excellent for summarizing and re-representing modules of your code

Thats my philosophy too. If you're full, you have no cravings at all. I have zero sugar cravings unless im really hungry, at which point real food is still the better option. Focusing on what you Should eat (nuts, berries, greens, etc) is much more rewarding than obsessing over what not to eat.

What i do is assign the token to a variable. I typically copy the secret to my clipboard, and then use the pbpaste command in macos terminal when assigning it to avoid secrets in my command history.

Its the opposite to me. I really liked that the AI panel was a fully featured text editor buffer like any other. The new agent panel makes it too much like "the rest" haha. I guess I'll get used to it over time. The important thing is that we finally have agentic editing which is extremely powerful ofc.
