Bringing the ideas I've been thinking about for months into life has never been easier, thanks to AI agents. The basic intuition is—give it a prompt, it builds the whole feature, the result looks good. Done. It takes only minutes to build the same thing that would've taken hours otherwise.
Yes, I know, everyone's doing that. Right?
The reason I'm opening like this is to point out what happened afterwards.
I tried to use the search bar, and it fired a request on every keystroke.
Wait, what? I didn't do that. Of course I'd add a debounce here. But the agent didn't. Why? I didn't ask it to. I said—build me a search bar, and it built me one that works; but I didn't say exactly what I wanted.
