This YouTuber is very knowledgeable, this video in particular was very good to follow along and take in what he says. Usually, I can barely watch any of his videos when they popup as recommend because his humor and way of behaving feels directed towards kids to entertain. So I avoid his channel. This time, I actually enjoyed the video. I wish he continued with this style instead.

Another point I would like to bring up is this, I do not believe the idea of ”solving coding” is appropriate. I do not see these agents as replacement for our crafts, but rather, as a assistive tool for us. Its an extension of us. If you are at the beginner stage of something, and have a wrong approach for something, the agent amplify that issue (a bit of prompting can help mitigate this for beginners ofc, for example the agent can act as a teaching instructor).

I feel like some people don’t know how good Claude Code (the harness) is at general tasks as well, not just coding. It have helped me troubleshoot a lot of issues in a variety of environments, from things in the local machine to external services to the web. It has truly shortened my time of sitting stuck infront of the desktop, starring at the screen while out of ideas.
