If an AI agent writes most of your code and you feel like you’re learning less, you’re looking in the wrong place. Agents now absorb the syntax errors, library quirks, and API docs. What’s left, and what an agent can’t judge for you, is the system around the code. Your job is knowing whether what […]
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 →“Keep It Simple” is old advice. It got interesting again the moment anyone could generate 500 lines of code in 30 seconds. KISS says systems and tasks should be as straightforward as possible. No unnecessary complexity. Fewer moving parts, fewer things to break, fewer things to hold in your head. It was good advice when […]
Read More →AI coding agents are fast, but they cut corners. Agent Skills is an open-source project by Addy Osmani that gives agents the same structured workflows senior engineers follow, from spec to ship. This post breaks down how it works, explains the Google engineering principles it builds on (Hyrum’s Law, Chesterton’s Fence, the Beyonce Rule, Shift […]
