Given how quickly things evolve, it's easy to get lost in the numerous offerings and hard to get the best deal. So, what do you use? Both clients/harnesses and LLM providers or local setups would be interesting.

Personally, I've been using opencode with Github copilot for work. I'm currently looking for cost-effective provider for personal work. Maybe openrouter with one of the cheap models?

If I can't remember a specific interface I can not judge if would be the right tool for the given job. Using suboptimal tools is bad architecture for me.

That's just a simple example.

It took me about 8 weeks to get back up to my old productivity, and suddenly code that looked perfectly fine from agent backed project's give me nightmares.

Not remembering an interface is easily alleviated.

Forgetting core architectural principles - which are the cornerstone of good architecture - cannot be fixed that easily.

Micro details, specifics, are what the docs are for. You don't need to remember the specifics as long as you have the understanding of what the thing does.

Macro details - appropriate information and event pipelines, SOLID, KISS, etc., are what architecture is about. You can write the best micro-scope code if the end result on a macro level is spaghetti that would feed Rome for a year.
