A claim has been making the rounds in AI coding circles: stop prompting your coding agents and start designing loops that prompt them for you. Like most things, it gets repeated far more than it gets explained. This is the practical version — what an agent loop is, why it matters, and what one actually […]
Read More →Your agentic app just ran a search. The tool returned 500 results as JSON. Your agent appended all of it and fired off an API call — 45,000 tokens to answer a question that needed maybe 4,500. Tejas Manohar, a senior engineer at Netflix, hit this problem every day. He was running out of tokens […]
Read More →You give your AI coding agent a task. It gets to work. Thirty tool calls later you have code — and it’s not what you needed. The agent understood the words but missed the intent. It made a dozen small decisions that individually seemed reasonable, and collectively built the wrong thing. This isn’t a capability […]
Read More →If you take one thing from Claude Code, make it this: Explore → Plan → Code → Commit. The developers who skip straight to “write me the code,” then spend the next hour arguing with the output. This workflow exists to prevent that. Explore Before writing a single line, Claude needs context. Without it, you get […]
Read More →A practical guide for developers navigating Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Codex, and beyond. You switch from Cursor to Claude Code. Or from Copilot to Windsurf. The interface is different. The shortcuts are different. The config file has a new name. And for a moment, it feels like you’re starting from scratch. You’re not. Under […]
