Agent 4: Don't use it yet! Created SOOOO many bugs EVERYWHERE

I started using Agent 4 yesterday afternoon and was delighted - all of the changes I’ve been queuing on a word doc I could now just run. Each task was much slower that the Agent normally is, and I had many crashes where the agent just stopped working midway through doing something, which I haven’t had before. But that is all manageable. The BIG problem is I now have bugs EVERYWHERE - even in parts of the application I didn’t make any changes to eg. login authentication, the navigation disappearing. I’m honestly scared about what is ahead of me trying to find and fix all of these bugs now. And clearly it’s going to cost me credits to get back to where the app was :tired_face:

I’ve seen similar results. I have a CI/CD pipeline hooked up to my projects that uses SonarCloud to grade the codebase and catch issues automatically. Agent 4 is giving it a heat attack.

Adding insult to injury, I used to be able to fix all of these types of issues in a single prompt… now I need to babysit this awful task list and an hour job takes 4 hours.

Replit, I’ll pay you if you downgrade me back to agent 3. I can’t stand being slowed down this much. It’s like going from an iPhone to a blackberry.

Agree, I also could’t work out how to go back. It’s the worst timing, I have beta testers starting this week and I’ve had to push them all back

I told my team to take the week off… we are blocked by Agent 4’s many issues.

Thankfully I was able to score a last minute cruise, so I am going on vacation to clear my mind and hopefully when I come back Replit will have solved most of these issues.

Note to Replit: Next time, let people opt into new agent releases so the kinks can get worked out by beta testers. Many of use have come to rely on this tool to make a living, pushing out bad updates impacts the livelihoods of your user base.
