oh I don't think everyone has to like these tools, and I don't think everyone has to use them. I certainly don't expect everyone to use them the same way.

what really got me moving was dusting off some old text about cognitive styles and team work. Learning to treat agents like a new team-member with extreme tendencies. Learning to observe both my practices and the agents' in order to un

it is theater. they acknowledge as much. not to exert absolute control, just enough to give the clear message: not for kids.

I would've thought that in 20 years you would have met other devs who do not think like you? something I enjoy about our line of work is there are different ways to be good at it, and different ways to be useful. I really enjoy the way

> strong typing is very very useful for AI coding context what makes you think so? I believe strong typing is very very useful for human coding, I'm not convinced its so 'very very' for agents.

'over-commenting simple code' is preparing it for future agent work. pay attention to those comments to learn how you can better scaffold for agents.
