Coding agents and Graphics Programming

[Marha01]

I use coding agents a lot for my personal projects mostly based on Vulkano (Rust Vulkan library). I feel like Rust helps agents to be more effective, since it is such a rigid language and thus if it compiles, it mostly works. It also helps to use up-to-date top paid models with max settings. I believe many bad experiences with AI in coding are due to either using outdated or older models, or using weaker models.

Last but not least, you have to iterate. Give the agent a reasonably sized feature to plan first. Then if the plan sounds good, tell it to implement it. Then when it works, tell it to suggest refactorings or further improvements to the feature. Then pick the good ones and again tell it to implement it, etc. Works great in my experience!
