I tend to be sceptical when it comes to LLM based coding tools but many people seem to be raving about huge productivity gains which I wouldn’t mind as well.
However when trying cc it left me vey disappointed. For context I’m working on a relatively greenfield rust project and gave it tasks that I would consider appropriate for a junior level colleague like:
- change the return type of a trait and all it’s impls
- refactor duplicate code into a helper function
- replace some of our code with an external crate
it didn’t get any of them correct and took a very long time. Am I using the tool wrong?
How are you using cc or other agentic tools?
