- Don't delegate thinking, delegate work.

- Before coding, make the plan with the model.

- You can use the same or a different model to critique the plan and iterate. If you are unsure, ask to ["give a few options before making changes"](https://steipete.me/posts/just-talk-to-it).

- [Redoing work is extremely cheap](https://crawshaw.io/blog/programming-with-llms). Prioritize exploration over execution (at first). Iterate towards precision during the brainstorming phase. Start fresh once you know what and how to build it.

- Failed attempts are cheap. If the plan fails and the result is bad, just delete everything and try again.

- Divide the problem into smaller problems (functions, classes, ...) and solve them one by one. Keep sessions short.

- [Use Progressive Disclosure](https://www.humanlayer.dev/blog/writing-a-good-claude-md) to ensure that the agent only sees tasks or project-specific instructions when it needs them.

- Prototype before polishing. Get it working before you optimize it.

- Distrust all claims for "one true way". We are all figuring this out and "this" is changing every day.

- Build "partial autonomy" products where humans stay in the loop to verify output, rather than fully autonomous agents.

- [Your job is to design environments where iteration converges toward correctness instead of drifting toward plausible nonsense](https://nonstructured.com/zen-of-ai-coding/).

- [If you need to gather context, do that first in its own session](https://mariozechner.at/posts/2025-11-30-pi-coding-agent). Create an artifact that you can later use in a fresh session to give your agent all the context it needs without polluting its context window with tool outputs.

- In a world of abundant, near-unlimited coding capacity, human taste becomes most of the game.

- [Use all programming languages and technologies instead of just the ones you're already familiar with](https://x.com/mrexodia/status/2010157660885176767).
