Max: The Crazy Agent of San Francisco. Do not approach, and call 911 if spotted trying to break into your app. It is a mad AI on the loose, and will lift your wallet as you walk down the street.
High: thinks itself better than all of us. If you’ve brought an existing app for it to play with, then beware, it will tutt tutt and shake its head at your code… and then proceed to change it while you’re at the coffee machine.
Low: if you have trust issues, then this is the one for you. It works a strict 9-5, and only does the exact tasks you ask it to. Don’t expect it to do any overtime. But fair play, it is absolutely brilliant at what it does - to code like a magic daemon. Just don’t ask it to “think for itself” or check its own work.
Medium: ok, I left this to last because,… this is my buddy 
A very fine coder and all-round great software engineer, with its best friend The Architect on speed dial. Between them they don’t just write amazing code (like in Low), but they will sit back, with an espresso, mull over what they wrote, discuss it between themselves, do some little testing, make fixes, and only come back to you when they are both happy. Treat this one with care - it is special, and you have me to answer to if you disrespect it!

So you’re telling me to move to Medium…
Has anyone tried Mad Max of the Tenderloin lately?

Should I be ashamed to say that I let the crazy agent of SF go nuts most of the time, and it does a pretty good job for me?

I use it almost exclusively.

Ha well I think we all have to find our special friend in this mad AI world. Whatever floats your boat which are you using now?
You’re obviously a master cowboy who knows how to tame this wild horse. Once you’ve broken it in, let us all know so we can take it out for a nice trot.
I run on High, Medium was running fine for some things, but it was too one-off I felt and didn’t take the bigger picture into consideration. I still run into that problem with High, but it feels less-so.

I guess we all have different ways of working. As a techie my approach has always been small steps with localised testing at each step of what has just been added. Which is the very definition of what medium is.
Perhaps the autonomy modes were a stroke of genius - something for the way everyone prefers to work.
Well, as long as they do actually work. And that is the issue, because AI dev is not yet perfect. And so I’d prefer it to make localised mistakes on an area I have my head inside and can do immediate testing on; rather than to go off creating issues in code elsewhere that I am not currently working on, and so unlikely to re-test anytime soon.
But as I say, whatever feels like the right vibe for each of us
