AI CodingEpisode 64

Coding agents shift a developer’s attention from writing every line towards architecture, testing and review.

AgentsEpisode 64

Every coding model brings its own mix of literalness, initiative, caution and recurring habits to a coding session.

Coding agents let operators turn their knowledge of workflows, exceptions and commercial pressures into working software.

AgentsEpisode 64

Tests, specifications and human review determine how long a coding agent can keep producing useful software on its own.

Working software exposes missing permissions, awkward screens and workflow exceptions that an initial specification rarely captures.

Rapid implementation lets an early choice about data, queues or background workers spread across a codebase within weeks.

AgentsEpisode 64

A coding harness controls which files an agent can inspect, which commands it can run and which results return to the model.
