First of all, thanks!

And agree on the open questions. Our goal is to keep experimenting and actually figure out how we agentic coding falls short in different scenarios and how that could be solved.

For instance, on our own projects, in some cases it requires different approaches. E.g. in our core product we power-use stuff like pm2, AGENTS.md special instructions, testing strategies dogfooding our own qa-use and special claude code commands that we found work best. In other repos, we have slightly different approaches.

Still we are far from autopiloting a lot of the stuff we build. But at the same time we are getting to a point where changes are done much faster, and the agents have more of a complete toolset for their validation, which makes it easier to supervise too.

I appreciate your work.

But, again, from a productivity point of view, and from a correctness of approach point of view, I have learned this:

1. Avoid overengineering against/at all costs.

2. Doing the project is doing the project, anything else is ... not doing the project :) https://www.softwaredesign.ing/blog/doing-the-thing-is-doing...
