Earlier quoted context omitted.

The idea is to produce such articles, not read them. Do not even read them as the agent is spitting them out - simply feed straight into another agent to verify.

Present it at the next team/management meeting to seem in the loop and hope nobody asks any questions

No questions. It will be pasted into their AI tool. And things will be great. For few weeks at least until something break a nobody will know what

All of this might as well be greek to me. I use ChatGPT and copy paste code snippets. Which was bleeding edge a year or two ago, and now it feels like banging rocks together when reading these types of articles. I never had any luck integrating agents, MCP, using tools etc. Like if I'm not ready to jump on some AI-spiced up special IDE, am I then going to just be left banging rocks together? It feels like some of the…

I recently pasted an error I found into claude code and asked who broke this. It found the commit and also found that someone else had fixed it in their branch. You should use claude code.

There's no reason this should not be possible in other IDEs, except for the vendor lock-in.

Not only is the website layout horrible to read, it also smells like the article was written by AI. My brain just screams "no" when I try to read that.

Don't worry, it's not supposed to be read. The idea is to induce FOMO and subscribe to authors newsletter to get more "insights".

I'm so happy someone else says this, because I'm doing exactly the same. I tried to use agent mode in vs code and the output was still bad. You read simple things like: "We use it to write tests". I gave it a very simple repository, said to write tests, and the result wasn't usable at all. Really wonder if I'm doing it wrong.

No, you have similar experience as a lot of people have.

LLMs just fail (hallucinate) in less known fields of expertise.

Funny: Today I have asked Claude to give me syntax how to run Claude Code. And its answer was totally wrong :) So you go to documentation… and its parts are obsolete as well.

LLM development is in style “move fast and break things”.

So in few years there will be so many repos with gibberish code because “everybody is coder now” even basketball players or taxi drivers (no offense, ofc, just an example).

It is like giving F1 car to me :)

Copilot's agent mode is a disaster. Use better tools: try Claude Code or OpenCode (my favorite). It's a new ecosystem with its own (atrocious!) jargon that you need to learn. The good news is that it's not hard to do so. It's not as complex or revolutionary as everyone makes it look like. Everything boils down to techniques and frameworks of collecting context/prompt before handing it over to the model.

Yep, basically this. In the end it helps having the mental model that (almost) everything related to agents is just a way to send the upstream LLM a better and more specific context for the task you need to solve at that specific time. i.e Claude Code "skills" are simply a markdown file in a subdirectory with a specific name that translates to a `/SKILL_NAME` command in Claude and a prompt that is injected each time that skill is mentioned or Claude thinks it needs to use, so it doesn't forget the specific way you want to handle that specific task.

I’m not particularly proAI but I struggle with the mentality some engineers seem to apply to trying. If you read someone say “I don’t know what’s the big deal with vim, I ran it and pressed some keys and it didn’t write text at all” they’d be mocked for it. But with these tools there seems to be an attitude of “if I don’t get results straight away it’s bad”. Why the difference?

I agree to a degree, but I am in that camp. I subscribe to alphasignal, and every morning there are 3 new agent tools, and two new features, and a new agentic approach, and I am left wondering, where is the production stuff?

So it begins, Design Patterns and Agile/Scrum snake oil of modern times.

No dude, you just don't get it, if you shout at the ai that YOU HAVE SUPERPOWERS GO READ YOUR SUPERPOWERS AT ..., then give it skills to write new skills, and then sprinkle anti grader reward hacking grader design.md with a bit of proactive agent state externalization (UPDATED), and then emotionally abuse it in the prompt, it's going to replace programmers and cure cancer yesterday. This is progress.

Yeah the (updated) tag on all patterns was a bit much

I am on the other side, I have given the complete control of my computer to Claude Code - Yolo Mode. Sudo. It just works. My servers run the same. I SSH into Claude Code there and let them do whatever work they need to do. So my 2 cents. Use Claude Code. In Yolo mode. Use it. Learn with it. Whenever I post something like this I get a lot of downvots. But well ... end of 2026 we will not use computer the way we use th…

Claude Code and agents are the hot new hammer, and they are cool, I use CC and like it for many things, but currently they suffer from the "hot new hammer" hype so people tend to think everything is a nail the LLM can handle. But you still need a screwdriver for screws, even if you can hammer them in.
