The tools can be an editor/terminal/dev environment, automatically iterating to testing the changes and refining until a finished product, without a human developer, at least that is what some wish of it.
- johnisgood 1y agoOh, okay, I understand it now, especially with the other comment that said Cursor is one. OK, makes sense. Seems like it "just" reduces friction (quite a lot).
- csande17 1y agoYeah, it's really just a user experience improvement. In particular, it makes AI look a lot better if it can internally retry a bunch of times until it comes up with valid code or whatever, instead of you having to see each error and prompt it to fix it. (Also, sometimes they can do fancy sampling tricks to force the AI to produce a syntactically valid result the first time. Mostly this is just used for simple JSON schemas though.)
- johnisgood 1y agoThank you, that is what my initial thought was. I am still doing things the old-fashioned way, thankfully it has worked out for me (and learned a lot in the process), but perhaps this AI agent thing might speed things up a bit. :D Although then I will learn much less.
