people are trying to codify coding agents into best practices

• “opus plan, codex execute”
• “spend tons of time planning” (update: no one cares, agents got better at understanding intent)
• “learn context management” (update: no one cares, compaction is good now and context windows are abundant)
• “learn to leverage skills!”
• “learn to leverage MCPs!”
  • “don’t touch MCPs, they bloat the context window!”
    • “use MCPs”
• “use one agent to check the other’s work”

stop having opinions

just surf

the water will be different tomorrow
