Agent mode in vscode is awesome. Best of both worlds. Let the AI do the coding but also fix it quickly when it hallucinates. It’s like delegating feature tickets to a junior dev while allowing me to focus on reviewing/merging and architecture.

I just implemented fiat currency selection in StashPay this way. Also asked the AI to sort the listed currencies in the UI by global usage to reduce the time users need to select their desired currency. It sorted them by global demand and forex market volume.
Such a powerful tool to get high quality results with a quick iteration cycle.
