Last month I tried 5 AI based tools for different tasks. I kept 2 and dropped 3. The 2 I kept had the same pattern: they gave me suggestions but I made the final call. The AI didn't try to do everything, it did the boring part and I did the deciding part. The 3 I dropped either did too much automatically and got it wrong with no way to correct or did too little to be worth opening.
My read is that "human in the loop" isn't a feature it's a requirement. People say they want full automation but in practice they want control.
So for those who use AI tools daily: do you actually prefer full automation or do you want the tool to stop at "suggestion" and leave the decision to you? And the harder question: if a tool automated 100% of the task correctly every time, would you trust it or would you still check?
Nobody said running a startup was easy but some issues whether it's increasing DAU, perfecting ad copy, increasing MRR, hiring, or whatever can be pull your hair out levels of frustration.

You ask for a quick script addition, and suddenly background logic, helper functions and folder structures are completely rearranged without permission.
It feels less like a coding assistant and more like a coworker who won't stop uninvited cleanups.
How do you lock down your agent workflows so they only touch what you explicitly point to?

Burnout and depression turned my life upside down a few years ago, I went from an ambitious high-performer to a lucky run if I get out of bed. I remember hating everything related to a career and goals that I used to love, feeling empty inside, really empty, I'm not talking metaphors here. It is a feeling that I do not wish on anyone. With ups and downs, sometimes feeling very accompanied and sometimes very lonely, I managed to recover after many attempts. I managed to love what I do again and change my meaning of success, of what I want and how. Those who have been through it know that it is a before and after. Since my recovery, I decided that helping this not happen to anyone else would be part of my life goal.
