Chatbot interface was a good gateway drug to ai-assisted coding, but its not quite a good one, move on to agents with cli or tool access.
Check if it can do what you can do, that is a good advice and pratical one. It gives you the taste of what can work and what cannot. I have done it myself for one of scripts to get metrics from logs, all of which I could do in half an hour, but with agents and right context, I can now do it in minutes. But that took some time to understand what to give it, and what to not.
Keep an agent running, think about what you could be doing but can delegate. This is quite a good advice given how smart they can get given the right context and tools.
Do the work, till the agent does its. Don’t delegate and chill. Forming skills is something still valuable as a human.
That is damn point
Well, you’re trading off: not forming skills for the tasks you’re delegating to the agent while continuing to form skills naturally in the tasks you continue to work on manually.
Use agents.md, skills or whatever the harness can use best. Its a ongoing process but don’t get caught up for long in old ways.
Always have an agent running (maybe just one). That is a bold advice. And this leaves me with disagreement for quite a subtle reason. It can feel like I am missing out on something if an agent is not running, seems like wasting precious time in making something, which is not a bad feeling to have, but can ruin the day.
