My AI Adoption Journey
9 hours ago
- Adopting a new tool involves three phases: inefficiency, adequacy, and life-altering discovery.
- Chatbots are limited for coding; use agents that can read files, execute programs, and make HTTP requests.
- Reproduce manual work with agents to build expertise, breaking tasks into clear, actionable steps.
- End-of-day agents can perform research, triage issues, and explore ideas while you are unavailable.
- Outsource high-confidence tasks to agents while focusing on deep work, turning off notifications to avoid context switching.
- Engineer tools and prompts to prevent agent mistakes, improving reliability through 'harness engineering'.
- Aim to always have an agent running for delegated tasks, balancing it with manual work.
