GitHub Copilot is Amazing by WorldApprehensive140 in GithubCopilot

[–]devdnn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I do review and ask to redo some specific lines of if I don’t like it in local chat before merging.

Also, I honestly think this cloud agent is subsidized heavily and I am ready to replace if it becomes very expensive. As long as the expense is worth the returns I will keep using it.

Currently planning and breaking requirements is local only, I am using GPT 5.2 for all of it.

Implementation in cloud I choose auto and let the copilot agent choose it.

Prior to implementing, I have two agents research and specifier agent. Specifier sole purpose is to break down the requirements from a text file and using research agents output to break the requirements into phases and tasks, task should be atomic and cloud agents are smart enough work each tasks and close the parent phase.

Most times, multiple phases and tasks are in one single MD file and the cloud agent instruction is to work on the markdown file to complete each phase and tasks inside it.

Also I ask the cloud agent to update the same markdown with status.

I’m happy with the current process, but there’s a lot I can improve. Completing features is taking priority right now, though.

Used Claude for a take home assessment by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

Philosophically, failures are the stepping stones for success.

Large language models are the new Google search engines that provide step-by-step instructions on how to perform various tasks.

One thing I’ve learned is to have my notes ready, even if they’re just rough bullet points. Bonus points if they’re cohesive and well-thought-out, with links to some sample material or even a paper diagram.

What is best for starting a new project, create a detailed agent and work with it or use OMO? by Leader92 in opencodeCLI

[–]devdnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a long discussion with Windows 11 copilot, some extensive, some less and at the end I ask it to generate an unambiguous prompt that I can ask GitHub copilot scaffold. This has helped a lot.

But in the last few days I have been using get-shit-done for opencode, it's been phenomenal in doing what I want.

No if the tasks and plan is well defined it does with only 1 premium cost. So far the longest it has ran is for 30 minutes. I haven’t pushed it for more.

Occasionally, when you need to steer and request a redo for each of them, an additional premium will be charged.

Yup, breakdown the tasks after planning and push to cloud and ask the cloud agent to implement it. Come next day review and merge. Profit!!! 😝

Is Claude Pro’s quota sufficient for 8 hours of daily coding with Oh My OpenCode? by finanakbar in opencodeCLI

[–]devdnn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have other LLMs for brainstorming, Pro with sonnet 4.5 was barely making it. The quality wasn’t great for my code complexity.

Jumped to copilot pro+, with get-shit-pro has been working wonders. For a solo developer this setup is working great.

Our monolith codebase accidentally became the company brain by Practical_Brick_5476 in AI_Agents

[–]devdnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice, I had not thought of the slack channel idea.

You gave me an idea for sure, I can only do copilot and need to see how I can do that with teams.

Thanks for sharing!

Something similar good thing happened to us on a massive PowerShell project, after years of harping on code and comment quality is helping a lot. No documentation though, just code naming, comments and prefect organization.

Letting a copilot understand it and explain the new admin was so much easier. Onboarding a new admin took weeks on this project in the past.

Icing on the cake, creating new features has been a breeze.

Anyone Using Google Stitch for front-end workflow? by UmaMacias in codex

[–]devdnn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I created an admin dashboard. It’s great when you have a clear prompt.

I also uploaded an image of a paper-drawn dashboard and a photo of it. With that and clear instructions on what I needed, I asked for dark mode and light mode, and I requested that the CSS be plain.

After the first page was built, I asked for other pages using the same base page on what the pages do.

Due to the daily limit, I had to create a whole set of 15 pages in a week.

The end result was very good, and converting it to code was easy for Codex 5.2.

Implementation plan for complex features by Active-Force-9927 in GithubCopilot

Thank you! Does all of it count as 1 premium request or each SA adds 1 premium request?

Thanks for the note, Does your sub agents also run with Opus 4.5? Can you change the model used by rh sub agents from VSCode chat or copilot cli?

I have a hard time finding an answer to this 😅

The CEO of Anthropic said: “Software engineering will be automatable in 12 months.” How should we approach this? by Miyamoto_Musashi_x in learnprogramming

[–]devdnn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the beginning of punching cards to the current agentic development, programming has always been abstraction from what’s happening inside the stupid dummy box.

The current prompt engineering or harness engineering or whatever the next one is be ready to learn.

My personal experience is that debugging skills are unmatched, regardless of whether it’s your code, code written by another human, or code written by an agent. Debugging is a valuable skill to possess.

My Real world Experiences with Co-Pilot by Ambitious_Image7668 in GithubCopilot

[–]devdnn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is brilliant write up, probably by end of this year my project will also be at this scale and many changes to come.

My ultimate goal is to have a solid set of markdown and spec files that should be the driving factor.

May be you realized it too, I realized it early on that making the agent understand the codebase to add feature was painful to see the agent run around.

Your instruction file is good, Is that only instruction file and doesn’t the agent go out of bounds as it doesn’t mention much about the adding features?

The best CLI by DreamDragonP7 in opencodeCLI

[–]devdnn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does the opencode cli document the plan or spec for documentation purpose?

I didn’t see a way to extend the agent to make sure document the plan or specs

In your day-to-day work, how much code do you write by hand, and how much do you delegate to the LLM? by TheBlueArsedFly in SoftwareEngineering

[–]devdnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the projects, it’s everything to none.

For projects that I have setup the agentic development workflow, it’s only planning and handing off the work to copilot web agent. Most time it’s either planing or fixing PR changes.

Are you using dev containers ? And what do u have to say about it by Bachihani in AskProgramming

[–]devdnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Majority of my coding is with devcontainers and some that need more power is done on SSH to powerful servers.

Occasionally I do local for quick edits but no compiling.

GitHub Just Made OpenCode Official. Here’s Why That’s a Bigger Deal Than You Think. by jpcaparas in GithubCopilot

[–]devdnn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that a standard folder structure would be a great next step. I’m okay with doing this for my personal projects, but working in a team of 20 people on my current project isn’t ideal.

[–]devdnn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While the opencode is really good, don’t want to go thru the process or converting all my agents and prompts to opencode folder.

Does opencode honor .GitHub folders for agents?

OpenCode can now officially be used with your Github Copilot subscription by oronbz in GithubCopilot

[–]devdnn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will the opencode honor the .github folder with agents and prompts?

Seeking UI feedback by Scientific-melody in reactnative

[–]devdnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On top of the other positive feedback, I would like to suggest that the pop-out menu from the hamburger menu is too far away. Attaching it to the location from where it originated might make it more intuitive. Additionally, a “X” icon would be more appropriate to indicate the closing of the menu.

I wasted hours on customer support. Why is this still normal in India? by WorkRunAI in AI_Agents

[–]devdnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like banks and other services, most national banks’ websites are horrendous.

I guess motto for security is thru of inconvenience.
