It's like working with a junior coder or an offshore consultant that always says yes.

Of course you need to check their work, but also the better your initial project plan and specifications are, the better the result.

For stuff with deterministic outputs it's easy to verify without reading every single line of code.

Yeah, I mostly tend to work on web apps, where it's pretty hard to test all the interactions, so I'm hit by the bugs more often.

With web apps playwright-mcp[0] is essential IMO. It lets the AI Agent check its own work before claiming it's done.

With that it can see any errors in the console, click through the UI and take screenshots to analyse how it looks giving it an independent feedback loop.

That's fantastic, thank you! I've had to do all that manually, this sounds like it'll save me a lot of time.
