If you understand these subtle pieces you perceive the AI to get wrong, you should include that in your prompt. Also, unit test and functional test coverage go a long way to ensure correct behavior.
I could also include the correct implementation for it to copy in the prompt, if you get what I'm trying to say. Some amount of laziness or vagueness in the prompt is an intended use case, it's surely the point of having the subagents do so much churning of tokens to research before writing the plan that I'm about to disregard. But sure, those are helpful tips.
I admire your perseverance, but in mid-2026, I think you’re wasting your breath. The engineers who are virulently anti-AI like this, without being able to engage honestly about the pros and cons, are being driven by their fear and insecurity.
How am I being virulently anti-AI? I've been a Claude Code max subscriber for many months and find it very helpful. It feels a little unfair to conclude that any criticism is just unfounded fear and insecurity..
