đ´ââ ď¸ Good article on coding agents and how to use them
This advice for code pirates is from the attached article that goes into more depth, on how coding agents like Claude code work - and how to work with them. A good read if you want to know why they do dumb things sometimes.
- Think before you click: Tell the AI what youâre trying to build and why before asking it to do anything. Clear intent = better results.
- One task at a time: Small requests work better than âbuild everything.â Treat it like giving step-by-step instructions.
- Ask for a plan first: Have the AI explain what itâs going to do before it does it. This keeps things tidy and predictable.
- Stay in the loop: AI is fast, not magical. Skim what it creates so you understand the shape of it, even if you donât know the details.
- Save often: Keep versions or checkpoints so you can roll back if something feels off.
- Use it as a helper, not a boss: AI is great at drafts, setup, and heavy liftingâbut you decide what stays.
- Give it house rules: Simple guidelines like tone, style, or âdonât change working stuffâ help it behave consistently.
- When it gets messy, reset: If things drift, start a fresh request with clearer instructions instead of fighting the old one.
Vibe coding works best when you treat AI like an eager assistant: clear direction, small steps, and human at the wheel.

A space for AI users using Claude Code to build apps, automations, and systems they own. No hype.
