Congrats you are the top 1% of the AI god stack
Everyone on X talking about building AI coding loops
I think for 99% of people it's horrible advice. Mostly being promoted by people who profit off token burn
Unless you are deeply technical, you are going to build flimsy apps and burn outrageous amounts of money
Engineering a loop that produces high quality code requires insane amounts of setup and oversight to make sure it's done the right way
For a vast majority of people the best AI coding strategy is:
1. Work closely with your agent, ask it to build the next smallest people of functionality you can think of
2. After each small chunk, ask the AI what it did. Tell it to describe it to you concisely
3. If anything is too technical, ask it to explain in a non technical way so you deepen your knowledge
4. Have it continuously maintain a current state doc you can feed to another LLM to get 2nd perspectives on crucial decisions
5. Mute influencers who give you vague advice that doesn't really mean anything
This will actually save more time in the long run because you won't have to untangle code you don't understand
@Alhaji_dubaa Crime 101 is very solid.
I found Pretty Lethal & Balls up quite funny, good watch.
Forced myself thorugh Project Hail Mary, Found it ok.
