people are trying to codify coding agents into best practices
- “opus plan, codex execute”
- “spend tons of time planning” (update: no one cares, agents got better at understanding intent)
- “learn context management” (update: no one cares, compaction is good now and context windows are abundant)
- “learn to leverage skills!”
- “learn to leverage MCPs!” * “don’t touch MCPs, they bloat the context window!” * “use MCPs”
- “use one agent to check the other’s work”
- Without feedback loops, you’re the feedback loop
- Coding agents write 90% of my code now
- Don’t standardize your company’s coding agents yet
stop having opinions
just surf
the water will be different tomorrow
