- For work efficiency
- Against slop
- For leaning faster
- Against not learning
What techniques would you recommend to:
- Be efficient without slop
- Learn faster rather than skip learning
- For something I already know how to do, I try let agent do it (so I learn which part I can trust and which part I cannot).
- For something I don't already know, I ask it to try, and if it succeeded, I ask it to teach me.
- Pay attention to quality. I like this one https://x.com/thdxr/status/2082817105599062223
- I sometimes have agents quiz me. Technique I learned from https://www.geoffreylitt.com/2026/07/02/understanding-is-the-new-bottleneck

X (formerly Twitter)dax (@thdxr) on Xyou now have the ability to - play with every possible solution to a problem - refactor everything when you think of better patterns so many people complaining about the code the LLMs produce, if you're not producing the best software of your life right now something is wrong
