Without it I see that using let’s say Claude code directly requires a lot of hand holding (or insanely huge tokens wasted)
One of the things I've been talking about with my senior developers is how the bottleneck has shifted even more dramatically to human code understanding vs code generation. AI is still not suitable for generating production grade code without a human checking it (yet), but it can produce a huge amount of code for humans to check. We've been experimenting with ai finding better ways of communicating what is in a chang…
I'm using what I call "hermetic agents", where completely sandboxed agents write code and tests from the same specification, where the code writer can't see the test and the test writer can't see the code. The idea is that we can get better quality this way (by avoiding confirmation bias between code and tests). It is more painful to set up however, since you have to distill a spec and guides that the agent would nor…

How do you test it across different workloads and are you running it in a datacenter or cloud provider? I forgot to mention it but the other major problem I underestimated was giving the permission to potentially spend lots of money to AI calling each other in ways I didn't have a good way to monitor, and didn't want to actively watch. So I wanted to set budgets and have them get passed to children, and realized that…
I have a 'node/container' abstraction at the infra/engine layer which is essentially either a cloud VM or a local podman container. The engine/infra layer can spin up more of these as needed. I have a relatively beefy dedicated machine for working with AI, which is where I do most of the testing. I aggressively try to keep costs down so the workflow DSL I have supports configurable limits which can be set at the $, t…
Just yesterday I tried to find an annoying and persistent bug in the cummunication between a Lyrion Media Server and my player. I used Opencode's native Big Pickle AI, and first it was a pain in the back, because it gave me a new code, I had to start the player and test the control in the server's web GUI, report the errors back, and so forth, and it tried a lot, but never found the real cause. Then I got tired, and…
