For the AI skeptics reading this, there is an overwhelming probability that Mitchell is a better developer than you. If he gets value out of these tools you should think about why you can't.

Don't get it. What's the relation between Mitchell being a "better" developer than most of us (and better is always relative, but that's another story) and getting value out of AI? That's like saying Bezos is a way better businessman than you, so you should really hear his tips about becoming a billionaire. No sense (because what works for him probably doesn't work for you)

Tons of respect for Mitchell. I think you are doing him a disservice with these kinds of comments.

Good article! I especially liked the approach to replicate manual commits with the agent. I did not do that when learning but I suspect I'd have been much better off if I had.

Much more pragmatic and less performative than other posts hitting frontpage. Good article.

> Break down sessions into separate clear, actionable tasks. Don't try to "draw the owl" in one mega session.

This is the key one I think. At one extreme you can tell an agent "write a for loop that iterates over the variable `numbers` and computes the sum" and they'll do this successfully, but the scope is so small there's not much point in using an LLM. On the other extreme you can tell an agent "make me an app that's Facebook for dogs" and it'll make so many assumptions about the architecture, code and product that there's no chance it produces anything useful beyond a cool prototype to show mom and dad.

A lot of successful LLM adoption for code is finding this sweet spot. Overly specific instructions don't make you feel productive, and overly broad instructions you end up redoing too much of the work.

I recently also reflected on the evolution of my use of ai in programming. Same evolution, other path. If anyone is interested: https://www.asfaload.com/blog/ai_use/
