I think I lack the social skills to community drive a fix, probably through some undiagnosed disorder or something so I've been trying to soldier alone on some issues I've had for years.

The issues are things like focus jacking in some window manager I'm using on xorg where the keyboard and the mouse get separate focuses

Goose has been somewhat promising, but still not great.

I mean overall, I don't think any of these coding agents have given me useful insight into my long vexing problems

I think there has to be some type of perception gap or knowledge asymmetry to be really useful - for instance, with foreign languages.

I've studied a few but just in the "taking classes at the local JC" way. These LLMs are absolutely fantastic aids there because I know enough to frame the question but not enough to get the answer.

There's some model for dealing with this I don't have yet.

Essentially I can ask the right question about a variety of things but arguably I'm not doing it right with the software.

I've been writing software for decades, is it really that I'm not competent enough to ask the right question? That's certainly the simplest model but it doesn't check out.

Maybe in some fields I've surpassed a point where llms are useful?

It all circles back to an existential fear of delusional competency.
