alt Hacker NewsSub agent also helps a lot in that regard. Have an agent do the planning, have an implementation agent do the code and have another one do the review. Clear responsabilities helps a lot.
There also blue team / red team that works.
The idea is always the same: help LLM to reason properly with less and more clear instructions.

A huge part of getting autonomy as a human is demonstrating that you can be trusted to police your own decisions up to a point that other people can reason about. Some people get more autonomy than others because they can be trusted with more things.
All of these models are kinda toys as long as you have to manually send a minder in to deal with their bullshit. If we can do it via agents, then the vendors can bake it in, and they haven't. Which is just another judgement call about how much autonomy you give to someone who clearly isn't policing their own decisions and thus is untrustworthy.
If we're at the start of the Trough of Disillusionment now, which maybe we are and maybe we aren't, that'll be part of the rebound that typically follows the trough. But the Trough is also typically the end of the mountains of VC cash, so the costs per use goes up which can trigger aftershocks.
This runs counter to the advice in the fine article: one long continuous session building context.
Since the phases are sequential, what’s the benefit of a sub agent vs just sequential prompts to the same agent? Just orchestration?
This sounds very promising. Any link to more details?
