Agentic coding tip
Pay down tech debt immediately
With agents, there should be no such thing as “tech debt”. An agent should simply pay down every bit of tech debt before presenting you with the “finished work”. Unlike humans, agent time is not very valuable; it can and should continue to work on something until it’s done, and shouldn’t make concessions assuming human constraints.
If an agent tells you that it’s “leaving something for later”, tell it to go finish it first before saying it’s done.
Example prompt (best if it is in your docs):
```
Do not leave any tech debt behind. If you have taken any shortcuts, go back and do them right. This is a hard acceptance criteria that must be completed.
```
We're building a Moon Base!
@NASAMoonBase will serve as a habitat where astronauts live and work during long-term science missions.
Join us at 2pm ET on Tuesday, May 26, for a live news event where we’ll share updates on our lunar exploration plans: https://t.co/IJXA7xYwju
it’s in gemini, just create it in ai studio. oh, that’s for your personal google one account. for workspace you need gemini business. no, not gemini advanced, that’s ai pro now. unless you need ai ultra. oh agents? you do that in spark actually. no, not gemini api managed agents, that’s different. for coding use jules. unless you mean the agentic ide, that’s antigravity. no, that’s the old antigravity, download the new one. actually gemini cli is being deprecated, use antigravity cli. no the flash model is smarter than the pro model. unless you need pro. if it’s video, use flow. no, flow uses veo. no, nano banana is images. actually that’s in gemini now. unless you’re in search, then it’s ai mode. no, research is notebooklm. anyway it’s all very simple.
Everything seems like normal SEO, the interesting bit for me was the part for non commoditized content. In a SEA of AI Slop with people regurgitating the same type of AI Written articles, the people that write unique content with a different and unique POV will stand out. My guess is that is less about unique perspectives but more about the LLMs being trained on the same content over and over; they need more unique content.
🚨 JUST IN - Google published a long piece about "Optimizing your website for generative AI features on Google Search" 👀
A lot in it https://t.co/22t75EtwUH
