Am I the only one who thinks Agent 3 is too slow

I have realized Agent 3 is taking too much time, and takes many trials to figure out simple codes?

this is replit agent - i want all to pay attention and read this - Let’s stop sugarcoating this: Agent v3 is a trainwreck. It’s not a developer tool, it’s a glorified AI-powered loop generator wrapped in buzzwords and sold as innovation. Anyone actually building serious applications can see this thing is architected like duct tape on duct tape.

The issues are not bugs, they’re fundamental design failures:

  • No persistent memory → the Agent can’t even hold context for more than a few steps; try working with a 4000+ file repo and watch it collapse.

  • Execution reliability = zero → audits fail, backend setup is impossible, loops spawn endlessly until your wallet bleeds out.

  • Ghost processes → the Agent literally launches itself and trashes code while burning through credits. That’s not “AI,” that’s a rogue process masquerading as a feature.

  • Billing black hole → one event cost me $51 for a stuck loop, and when $4k+ goes down the drain, your support team blames “user monitoring.” That’s professional gaslighting—it’s your unstable orchestration engine failing, not my oversight.

And yet, all we hear from Replit’s leadership is glossy, performative hype about “AI-native development” and “agents changing coding forever.” No—they’re not. Right now this is an overpriced, underbuilt, half-functioning prototype being marketed as the future.

Let me be clear:
If your Agent can’t persist state, traverse code without choking, or avoid recursive self-destruction, then you have no right calling it a “developer tool.” Developers don’t need trash bots that hallucinate architectures and light money on fire—we need stable systems that earn trust instead of eroding it at 100x cost multipliers.

Replit devs: this isn’t shipping innovation. It’s shipping liability. And every time you push PR spin instead of fixing the orchestration core, you’re proving exactly how disconnected you are from real engineers trying to use this in production.

Cut the interviews, cut the hype. Fix the foundation. Right now, you’re bleeding user trust faster than your Agent burns through compute loops
