I ask ChatGPT o3 for “how do I” primers on new concepts then use my cmd+i keybind in vs code whenever I forget syntax for doing something like Object.entries(map.entries()).map().

I feel like it’s pretty low tech, but I’m very happy with it. I’m getting exposure to new concepts in a very low friction way and sailing through tasks in a satisfying way.

I think coding agents are… not quite a psyop, but a marketing egregore designed to sell as many tokens as possible to non technical folks. I often don’t get what I ask for or things I’m embarrassed to put my name on when I let an agent do it’s thing.

I do load up the Claude Code CLI for documenting my stuff when I’m done, my backlog has a todo that’s basically using Block’s Goose + local R1 for that kind of thing because it’s a non-interactive batch job.
