How to Understand the Systems Your AI Coding Agent Builds
Coding with agents really has surfaced a bunch of problems and challenges we never ran into when writing code by hand. Agents work even faster than you'd expect. That's an advantage — and also a liability.
The Problem
We're used to discussing the plan with the AI before implementing anything. But I've noticed that, since it hasn't actually built the thing yet, the boundaries the AI discusses with you during design are all imagined. You end up going back and forth arguing over imagined boundaries, which wastes a lot of time. A faster approach is to let the AI implement a rough first version of the design, then have a human try it out in a dev or QA environment, get a feel for it, and revise the design from there.
But that brings a new problem. An agent can generate a feature very quickly. It'll tell you roughly what...
