Coding agents are AI-powered assistants that help developers with their tasks. Unlike simple code completion tools, coding agents can understand context, execute multi-step tasks, and interact with your development environment.
- Why Use Coding Agents? - Coding Agents do things you can’t do, things you could do but don’t because it’s too much hassle, and things you already do so you can do something else.
- How Coding Agents Work - Think of an AI coding agent as a project manager that sits between the developer, the code, and a powerful AI “brain” called a Large Language Model (LLM). LLMs are not deterministic, wicked smart, make mistakes, always forget, and never learn from you.
- Problems & Solutions - Treat Coding Agents like a junior team, use only one new technology per project, and dare to automate.
