alt Hacker NewsI feel like just use claude code. That is it. Use it you get the feel for it. Everyone is over complicating.
It is like learning to code itself. You need flight hours.

This is something that continues to surprise me. LLMs are extremely flexible and already come prepackaged with a lot of "knowledge", you don't need to dump hundreds of lines of text to explain to it what good software development practices are. I suspect these frameworks/patterns just fill up the context with unecessary junk.

It's not that simple. That's how I started as well but now I have hooked up Gemini and GPT 5.2 to review code and plans and then to do consensus on design questions.
And then there's Ralph with cross LLM consensus in a loop. It's great.
I'm stuck with the Copilot tools. Again, I don't think this is a problem with the models but with the tooling. I can't switch to claude code (for work, that is) and while I don't mind using more command line tools I don't want to run multiple IDE's.
But it's good to hear that it's not me being completely dumb, it's Copilot Agent Mode tooling that is?
