twitter's best worst quality is that it forces all takes into an extreme
you're either a tokenmaxxing inferencel looping your agents or you're a promptchud
the truth lies somewhere in between
you absolutely should have agents that can reproduce problems in your products, look for optimizations, automatically open PRs on issues
software has never been perfect, even before AI bugs still made it to production, the more of these you can catch and can fix automatically the better
at the same time, the underlying engineering still does matter - i just spent 3 days fixing some bad product design and architecture that i originally tried to defer to agents to implement
if i wasn't looking at the code, or i was just trusting loops to fix it, my product would be stunted in quality because i would've just kept digging myself into a worse path
anyways, setup your loops but prompting your agents is also fine - get the balance
Here’s your monthly reminder that you shouldn’t be prompting coding agents anymore.
You should be designing loops that prompt your agents.
