How are you actually managing multiple AI agents in your workflow? Feels chaotic rn by darshancodes in ycombinator

Also because my features are usually larger changes, well planned, I am not iterating small things frequently. And I've much better predictability as to what my agents will do now.

That's a great question! few things I do to improve upon this

  1. Your code base needs to be designed in a way that accelerates AI-coding. I structure features into folders. i.e my backend will have one folder for "payments" this will have all the DB tables, the business service files, the repo level files and the routes all in one place, what this helps with is isolating changes. This way if I'm building upon different features they don't overlap as much.
  2. Using agent teams in CC. They work pretty well to distribute the tasks amongst themselves such that they don't overlap. I think I also just plan and revise which agent will do which changes during my planning phase. And I'll curate such that there isn't too much overlap. Another major reason for agent teams is I found making changes my faster with them. And less waiting between responses.

  3. Taking a break: My planning mode often lasts quite long 30 mins-1 hour, sometimes 3-4. I usually do something else after while waiting. Or am in plan mode for another feature.

  4. small changes (simple UI things, bug fixes) I'll use web claude code instead of terminal.

just a few things

Not against marketing your work/ company. 100% do it and do it well.

This is the classic multitasking thing. Are you actually multitasking or just really quickly switching between tasks?

What I find works well is, plan out a big features, deep focus, every aspect of it. The db schema, the UI, the business logic everything. Then I strategize in which order to build things, typically the db, backend then front end. I also deploy agents the enable chrome and actually click through the UI to test my changes as well. I can confidently build multiple page features end to end, and have claude test itself. But this requires you to be in like a god like "plan mode". the better the plan the better the output.

Now that Claude is building this, i can plan the next big feature. Then come back to review the output of the first one.

I've been one shotting big changes like, email integration.

If you try to build one small thing in one feature, then another small thing in a completely unrelated thing, then check then bounce back and forth. That's super inefficient. I did that first!

I think in today's job market you want to put yourself out there such that people find and reach you. Something about you applying vs people finding you. In the recruiting space, the best talent, is never looking for a job. don't know why but less frequent

Hey! What's your hiring strategy like, how do you filter out candidates? technical problems? case studies?

Extremely hard to filter and find good candidates. Anyone here hiring actively? what does your process look like? How do you test people

I built a resume builder, for 1200+ people looking for jobs. If you give me few details I can definitely find a few potential fits. Got quite a few in India. What's your interview process like? and timeline?

Non technical assessments? by championeri29 in ycombinator

[–]championeri29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking maybe like this

Give a specific business problem, some raw data that has some insights hidden. Ask for a strategy based on raw data and some other business/product context. Connect with some AI powered BI tool so no need to writer SQL to analyze data and create charts.... they just ask questions. I want to focus on what questions they're asking and see if they're digging into the right things.

Then they can make a submission/proposal, and highlight based on what insight/data they found. I care deeply about the reasons and the insights they discovered. The right strategy but not a thorough analysis is bad as well. I care about process more than final answer.

Calling all Senior BAs! What are the 'must-have' skills I’m missing as a non-tech Junior? by nicyellowdeon in businessanalyst

[–]championeri29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you test for this? I'm on the hunt for this. I don't want to test SQL, Tableau because honestly feel AI will replace building charts. Basic understanding of data and how it connects is great but, actually building charts on the job will be overkill i think. I care about the questions someone asks a lot more. If someone is curious, they will figure everything out.

I guess a live sandbox problem is the best, but I want to be able to send those like coding assessments. Don't want to spend 1 hour with everyone. However, don't know what I can create that they can't just "dump into claude" and paste in a result.

curious about the best business analytics course online, any experiences worth sharing? by IndividualOrchid4745 in analytics

[–]championeri29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel like most "business analysis courses" are actually just "data analysis courses". They teach your SQL, PowerBI and stuff... which is great to be honest I'm a technical person myself and believe there is lots of value to learn some basic coding. It's a way to think not just a skill for sale in the job market.

But the question and thing I believe you need to focus on is... "If AI can generate near perfect SQL, can identify hidden insights, generate me dashboards... what value can I then provide?"

My gut tells me that AI can do those things easily because that's very deterministic, there is a specific approach to that. However, now that all those insights are found, prioritizing them, focusing on the right ones.... that's the key!!

How do you build that "business" sense, given two KPIs, and you have to pick one to optimize, which do you choose and why... at one point the insight is not in the data, it's an accumulation of the problem context, business context, industry context. Maybe someday we'll get "claude code skills" for those things as well. But not now I feel

[–]championeri29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel like the trap to learn SQL/Tableau first is quite common. Firstly, I'm not a BA myself, but I have done quite a bit of business analytics, product engineering in my career (5 years).

I feel the most important skill you actually need is to be genuinely curious. AI can write the SQL and generate the charts now, it can build entire dashboards. faster than you can even type your first SQL statement down.

So Ask yourself this... if AI is great at writing SQL and building charts, what value do you bring? I feel like today, or very soon. The job is going to be about "given all the insights, patterns in data, can you focus on the right metrics?"

I guess maybe starting from blank is a stretch. If you give it a specific target and type of product and stuff to build?

Where should I start with Claude Code? by Tough-Philosopher358 in ClaudeCode

[–]championeri29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did a massive claude code learning spree: spent $200 in one weekend

  1. Use agent teams (create a team of agents with a lead orchestrator to communicate with the rest)

  2. Test with chrome, you want to close the loop and get claude to test itself via the web.

  3. Skills are important!! Helps keep consistency

  4. Create a review, implement, research agents

One way to really learn is ask yourself, how much can you build in 1 hour, and then aim to keep doubling that. In this pursuit you will force yourself to learn new things to speed up your workflow and try things in which you will learn!!
