This article argues that simply instructing a coding agent to "speed this up" is insufficient for performance improvements. Without a structured system that includes measurement and testing, the agent may appear busy but achieve no actual gains. The author suggests that current AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot, GPT-4, and Claude 3, while capable, require more sophisticated prompting and integration into development workflows to effectively optimize existing codebases.
