TWO THINGS LLM CODING AGENTS ARE STILL BAD AT

Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

LLM coding agents still feel awkward to work with due to two main issues: they don't copy-paste code like humans do (instead "remembering" and rewriting code from memory), and they're terrible at asking clarifying questions, preferring to make assumptions and brute-force solutions. These quirks make LLMs feel more like "weird, overconfident interns" rather than replacements for human developers.
