@KylerJohnsonDev Same experience here. Using Fable 5 High for an analysis resulted in a bit chunk of my token budget for the month used up. Now I'm just using 5.6 SoI Medium for most reasoning stuff, while the usual Composer 2.5 for implementation

I spent 8 hours building things with Claude Sonnet 5 and only used around 2% of my token allowance. Had fun, built several fun things. I just spent 35 minutes using Fable 5 to build two features (across the stack) and used 31% of my token allowance. This includes using RTK to reduce token consumption.

If you're starting out with agentic engineering, know that all workflows basically follow a three steps process: 1) Plan/Brainstorm/Grill 2) Implement 3) Review and Test - fix issues I show a process that has helped me and I use for my own projects youtu.be/U_0UibgryFI

✨ Updated: Angular Material Dark Mode in 3 steps! It has become much easier with recent Angular Material versions - it uses the light-dark CSS function now. Code sample at the end of the blog post. buff.ly/awYfNXF

The quiz part at the end is interesting! Will definitely try it to ease the review process at the end

✨ As I add features to materialthemebuilder.com, I realize the workflow is getting simpler as well So I've create a short demo for the fastest way to theme Angular Material with the new changes that I added recently. Take a look: buff.ly/hxOm5AB

I used to ignore adding tests when coding manually. But with agentic engineering, it's a must now. For the material theme builder, I have about 386 unit and 30 or so e2e tests. Can probably refine them further and filter out unneeded ones - but provides a good safety net.

If you build with AI and don’t have unit and integration tests set up, you’re gonna have a bad time.

Does anyone know which image gen model does @cursor_ai use? It has helped me a lot in visualizing UI changes and creating mockups. An example for my theme builder product (materialthemebuilder.com):

Changes in the tech world were already too fast paced. Now it has got a bit too difficult to keep up to date with each model update. But we gotta do what we gotta do... ...so testing out Grok 4.5 in Cursor today! Initial impressions: It's fast

But again, if the analysis Fable 5 turned out with helps me in increasing my product conversions - then its money well spent So I'm overall impressed with this small experiment - and will probably use it for such complex analysis in the future while budgeting appropriately

English

Zoaib Khan@zoaibdev·7 Tem

Oops, and I can also confirm 2) about Fable 5 being expensive. So I used up my API quota on Cursor's subscription a bit earlier than I usually do with Chat gpt 5.5

English

Zoaib Khan@zoaibdev·6 Tem

🤞 Using Fable 5 for the first time - fingers crossed! Things I've heard: 1) It's slow 2) It's expensive 3) It's awesome at complex tasks Let's see whether it helps me in figuring out something for my product.

This resonates so much. I've been feeling burnt out myself - turns out you need to do a lot of decision making throughout the day compared to pre AI era

Klaas@forgebitz

software engineering is now draining because all the "easy" work is done you used to be able to do productive but relatively simple work some days (writing some new endpoints, making some dashboards) now all that is left is the hard part

@Nartc1410 I feel exhausted myself - more so now. Because it seems like I'm making too many decisions too quickly with the AI helping me out. Also, reviewing such a lot of code becomes too tiring

Dillon Mulroy@dillon_mulroy

yall im ngl its way harder to get joy and satisfaction out of building with ai than it was before constantly straddling burn out, being far less immersed in hard problems, constant context switching i’m tired of the uncertainty of where this is going and how to do it well

@mattpocockuk I think I am at 2 to 3. To me it helps when I understand the code architecture of a section - sometimes I ask the AI to explain it as well instead of going through it manually line by line

English

Matt Pocock@mattpocockuk·5 Tem

The "should you read code" debate is dumb because the real decision isn't binary, it's a scale: 1. Reading every line of every diff 2. Scanning every diff, reviewing important lines 3. Ignoring diffs but understanding the 'why' of every PR 4. Spot checking PR's instead of reading every one 5. Ignoring PR's, but doing regular spot checks on the codebase 6. Ignoring the code, but spot checking agent traces to help improve the system 7. Ignoring both the code and the system, let models handle everything Where are you on the scale?
