6 sessions on Bun with a coding agent: the agent failed at least once in 6, and 0 finished without a human stepping in.
Takeaway: Next time I'd nail down the SvelteKit server-fetch/env-var pattern up front instead of letting the agent iterate through three different fixes for the same root cause.
Takeaway: Next time I'd open with the fact that Reddit blocks server-side requests entirely and only trusts real browser cookies — that alone would have saved the whole detour through proxy routes, Windows path bugs, and Playwright dead-ends.
Takeaway: Next time I'd point it straight at the extensions.md/themes.md docs and the smoke-test approach from the start, since digging through docs and installed packages ate most of the session.
Takeaway: Next time I'd tell it upfront to use a single server-side fetch helper (or a proxy +server.ts route) instead of env vars for backend URLs, since that's what ate an hour of back-and-forth.
Takeaway: Next time I'd start the prompt by naming the exact Reddit endpoints and noting upfront that reddit.com blocks server-side fetches without browser cookies — that alone would have saved the long detour through proxies, User-Agent spoofing, and CORS services.
Takeaway: Next time I'd ask upfront for a single unifying design concept rather than just 'sleek animations,' since that's what actually made the theme feel cohesive instead of decorated.
