All of these blog posts to me read like nerds speedrunning "how to be a tech lead for a non-disastrous internship".

Yes, if you have an over-eager but inexperienced entity that wants nothing more to please you by writing as much code as possible, as the entity's lead, you have to architect a good space where they have all the information they need but can't get easily distracted by nonessential stuff.

Just to keep some clarity here, this is mostly about writing agents. In agent design, LLM calls are just primitives, a little like how a block cipher transform is just a primitive and not a cryptosystem. Agent designers (like cryptography engineers) carefully manage the inputs and outputs to their primitives, which are then composed and filtered.
