    This is a user issue. If it missed stuff, you didnt describe what you want clearly enough. This right here is exactly why im not worried about it taking over

      It can’t “take over”, it’s has no sentience or actual intelligence

      It’s probably a legacy code quality issue too. If your code is a mess, the only fix it can find is a kludgy one. The first thing I had it do, once it was good enough to do real work, was a legacy refactor to get architecture up to best practice standards. Heck, even OpenAI’s Harness Engineering specs say that this is essential to do first. I suspect that many of the people saying it comes up with shitty solutions are the same ones that always complain about over-engineering.

      You’ll also get subpar results if you just have it start coding without fully architecting its solution first. Just like a real developer.
