Working with agents

Notes and reflections on agents, development environments, and the changing shape of programming.

    A skill can record how I want an agent to work. An example can show what I mean. Keeping and refining both gives those expectations a place in the development environment.

    Maybe that’s one way improving the environment becomes part of working in it. Time spent clarifying a task could keep helping after the task is done.

    I can care about what gets built without needing to solve every implementation puzzle myself. Building my site gave that thought a practical shape: explaining what I wanted to an LLM was easier than expressing it through a framework.

    Maybe that’s why bespoke felt simpler here. I could be particular about the result and flexible about how it got made.
