The agentic workflow that keeps me in the loop
21 September 2026
I’ve barely written a line of code by hand in months. Neither has a lot of the industry,
which seems to have decided that means the old rules don’t apply any more. Massive diffs
are fine now, apparently. Some of the popular planning skills will happily generate a plan
running to thousands of lines and then plough straight through it like it’s gospel, nobody
having read it and with no checkpoint for a human to even pretend they’re still driving.
