Devs push back as coding tool weighs killing Plan Mode for effort-level hotkey
0xkarasy · x · 2026-09-24

A die-hard user pushed back: without planning, even strong models drift, and across 100+ rounds of code review, planning was the only reliable safeguard — review alone brings too much noise. A snapshot of an active design debate in agent coding workflows.
