Created this new project a week ago and already the number of files in the project root is dizzying.

@housecor npx @next/codemod@canary agents-md This will set up using the docs. On 16.2 it’ll use the built-in docs. Before 16.2 it downloads to a directory in your project. New applications have it set up by default. Hope that helps you, it does based on our research 🙏

Next's messy caching API history makes working in AI difficult. Today Claude confidently said "fetch calls are cached by default." Nope. They're not. They were in 14, but thankfully aren't cached by default in 15+.

Oh yeah! Forgot Next offers a slick compressed docs index for your LLM's instructions file. See here: #try-it-yourself" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">vercel.com/blog/agents-md… This assures it uses all the latest docs. Thanks @hjoelxyz

Sometimes using AI feels like being a tech lead. I specify the goal, and let the AI handle the details.

It’s amazing how much time you can save by not arguing with people If someone isn’t engaging in a good faith discussion I just move on

I don’t thunk enough people realize how much cheaper an EV can be to operate. Today I took a 200 mile trip. My gas SUV gets 20 mpg highway. So I’d have spent $35 on gas. Instead, I took my EV. It used just $2.40 in electricity. Over 14x cheaper! And the EV is smoother, quieter, easier to maintain, and MUCH quicker.

AI code review: That feature doesn't exist. Me: I've been using it for months.

Poll: Do you typically give your LLM full permissions? Examples: Claude: dangerously-skip-permissions Codex: danger-full-access Copilot: allow-all-tools

This is pretty impressive. Using Claude Code with Opus 4.6 - It's configured to run my tests after each change to validate its work. The tests failed, so Claude stashed its work and confirmed the test failure was pre-existing - it was occurring before Claude's change. Slick.

@cyrilgupta I help people use it but that doesn’t mean it’s always the right tool.

Even in the age of AI, I can do many tasks more quickly manually than via prompting. Entering the right prompt, granting access, waiting for response, reading response, reviewing results, and iterating on results is often more time-consuming than just manually making a change.

Delegation adds overhead. To delegate to a human, I must clearly convey the task, answer their questions, validate their results, and ask for tweaks after reviewing their results. Same story with AI. Takeaway: With both humans and AI, sometimes it’s quicker to do it myself.

Even as an AI optimist I gotta admit this rings true AI agents work best for mid-sized tasks.
Sean@shonson_dev

@housecor Exactly. It's a tough trade off. Using AI for small changes is a waste of time, using AI for big changes is often a disaster.

Rule: If the prompt is likely to be longer than the code change, I should probably code it myself instead of using AI.

@kyzookyzoo Yes though if it’s shallow tasks might be faster to do one at a time

@housecor Then it depends on what you have on your to-do list Sometimes it is a lot of shallow tasks that needs multitasking Other times it is deep work that needs singular focus

Multi-tasking doesn’t necessarily make me faster, and it increases my task switching overhead
kyzooghost@kyzookyzoo

@housecor Yes if you focus on a task you could do it faster, but that's the thing - you can't multiply your focus, you can multiply AI agents

The trap with AI is it’s hard to predict when it would be faster to do myself.
