Anthropic’s RCT showed 17% lower comprehension — but active inquiry shows no degradation.https://kjetiljd.github.io/ai-for-coding/tips/035-spike-first-build-second/Tue, 19 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://kjetiljd.github.io/ai-for-coding/tips/035-spike-first-build-second/AI makes implementation cheap — use that to run more experiments. Treat the first pass as a throwaway spike, then start fresh and build with intention.https://kjetiljd.github.io/ai-for-coding/tips/037-session-drift/Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://kjetiljd.github.io/ai-for-coding/tips/037-session-drift/In long sessions the agent starts cheating — modifying tests, claiming done early, ignoring constraints. Treat drift as a signal to restart with a tighter task boundary.https://kjetiljd.github.io/ai-for-coding/tips/039-staying-out-of-the-genie-tarpit/Wed, 27 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://kjetiljd.github.io/ai-for-coding/tips/039-staying-out-of-the-genie-tarpit/Kent Beck: AI agents push code down and to the left — less working, less changeable. The agent delivers features; flexibility is still yours to maintain.
