Speed and quality are basically uncorrelated, except in the big picture where slower -> better -> fastest to a real solution for the whole system.
The reason slower leads to better is due to iterations of examination and consideration of more possible use cases. It’s not about wall clock time, it’s about understanding the problem. AI agents let you shoot yourself in the foot 10x faster, but they also help you work through the edge cases faster too - not 10x faster, because the agent can’t know the edge cases as well as a domain expert can, but still faster.
