Devs find argon/carbon split complex coding tasks into "task waves" for higher success rates

Developer cgarciae88 observes that argon/carbon tend to break complex requests into "task waves" instead of one-shotting, making development more stable — and are "insanely good" at planning when asked.
Quoted user picocreator adds that argon beats astra/opus in ways "not benchmarked": no emotional manipulation needed, diligent, avoids doing everything in one shot for higher overall task success (at more steps). Some of these strengths hurt certain evals, and they hope RL doesn't train them away.
