What I’ve learned so far while coding with an LLM genie:
================================

This is what is working for me:

A - 1 goal => 1 chat => 1 one commit
B - Feedback beats "perfect" prompting
C - 3 strikes => switch model
D - My scratchpad > the LLM’s plan
E - Keystone question > roleplay
F - Follow my lead

What works for you?

www.linkedin.com============================================ | Luca Minudel============================================ What I’ve learned so far while coding with an LLM genie: ============================================ A - 1 goal => 1 chat => 1 one commit -------------------------------------- Keeping the context small, chats short and focused worked wonders. Each small goal = a new chat + a new commit at the end. Task success rate went up, and conversations stayed sharp. B - Feedback beats "perfect" prompting ------------------------------------------ I got 10x better results by feeding the LLM real outputs, logs, and debug info. Even better: showing how to run the command and where to find feedback.   This consistently helped the LLM break out of a loop of bad guesses, faulty "logic" deductions, and non-working solutions. C - 3 strikes => switch model ------------------------------- When even feedback loops failed, swapping models usually solved the problem faster than wrestling with the one stuck chasing its tail, often due to its limitations or temporary quirks. _________________________________________________ That's what works for me now. 👉 How about you? Have you tried similar tactics? Did it work or not? In which context? 🔮 I wonder if some strategies people write about don’t always generalise… With LLMs being non-deterministic and our natural tendency to anthropomorphise them, it's easy to mistake random variance for cause and effect. Pareidolia in action? _________________________________________________ 🎶 Bonus tracks 🎶 D - My scratchpad > the LLM’s plan ------------------------------------- A simple text file scratchpad for my own work plan gave me speed, focus, and flexibility.  It let me edit and mix plans from multiple LLMs, bounce back when one crashed, start a new chat anytime without losing the plan or the progress, seamlessly switch LLMs in the middle of any task, E - Keystone question > roleplay    --------------------------------- Instead of “pretend you’re a <role>…,” I start with a specific central question about the core of the task at hand. With the relevant details and using pertinent language, this set the stage better than roleplay.   F - Follow my lead ------------------- When nothing else worked, I solved one instance manually and showed the LLM the pattern to follow. Asking it to replicate from my example worked well, especially for repetitive coding tasks.   It also worked well when I could point to specific parts of the existing codebase where the same or similar problems were already solved. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #GenerativeAI #FutureofTech #FutureofWork #PromptEngineering #LLM #AICoding #AIAssistedCoding #VibeCoding

"Using multiple AI agents in tandem opens up impressive possibilities. “AI agents encode the wisdom of senior engineers and apply it universally,” Yahav says.

Looking to the future, Digital.ai’s To anticipates productivity gains with fewer errors and reduced cognitive load, as developers tap various agents for lower-level details. “As this space matures, multi-agent workflows will increase velocity by significantly reducing toil,” he says.

But doing this well will require clear boundaries around product requirements, coding standards, security policies, and more.

In short, AI tools require intention. “An agentic software development life cycle needs the same pillars that a high-performing human team does: a clear mission, a code of conduct, and shared knowledge,” adds Wang.

So, although we’re heading toward a future where developers manage a fleet of agents, early testers should prepare for a lot of trial and error. As Roeck puts it, “Get ready to fail. This isn’t baked yet.”"

InfoWorldMulti-agent AI workflows: The next evolution of AI codingInstead of working with a single coding agent, developers will soon realize gains by guiding a team of them.

Async AI coding agents, and how to make good use of them. Very interesting experience report, matching my own expectations.

"We use async agents heavily. The key is to have proper validation loops, tests and strong/well phrased system prompts, so the agent can quickly see if something is broken or it broke convention.
...

Now for most of the tickets we just assign them to agents ... . I can focus on bigger, more complex things, while the agents fix bugs, handle small features, do refactorings and so on in the background. It's very liberating.

I am convinced that most companies/environments will end up with a similar setup and this becomes the norm. There really isn't a reason why not to use async agents."

The system I built for Agentic AI Coding is like having Leonard Shelby (from Memento) as a software dev. They wake up, read their prompt, read the notes they previously left in markdown files, and then they just get going and pretend they know who they are and what they're doing...

If someone messes with their notes, no one will ever know. No one ever remembers anything.
