Meanwhile more specialized agents that try to add or enforce constraints around a problem space where certain aspects tend to be well established don’t sit well with a lot of uses. “No, you and general knowledge don’t know best, I know best… do this.”

I can see the use case for both but I’m seeing a whole lot more willingness to want confirmation bias, essentially to automate away parts of jobs and tasks people already do but in the personalized or opinionated way they’ve established, unwilling to explore alternative options.

So the general purpose agent structures that just kickoff whatever they can tend to favor best in terms of positive feedback from agent users. Meanwhile it to some degree ignores many of the potential benenfits of having agents with general knowledge and bounded by general established bounds. It’s basically the whole “please do parts of my job for me but only the way I want them done.”

People aren’t ready for being wrong or change, they just want to automate parts of their processes away. So I’m not sure “no” is going to sit well with a lot of people.

Perhaps we should train them to refuse developing more insert your most hated stack here.

But after tons of nudging it has started developing a sort of "improvement engine", as it calls it, for itself to help address that.

It go through its own logs and sessions, documents and keep track of patterns and signals, associated strategies, then regularly evaluate their impacts, independently of the agent itself, and it feeds those back to it in each loop.

It’s been quite fascinating to watch.

If coding agents already read AGENTS.md before making changes, they can also maintain a TECHNICAL_DEBT.md checklist.

Keep the loop intact: AGENTS.md ensures technical debt remains in context whenever changes are planned.

My experience with it is that it tends to create such 3-word sentences when ask to write an article.

How do any of the quotes and citations used coherently form that argument?

What is this writing style? Why does it feel like it doesn't want me to understand what the heck it's saying?
