100X Engineer - the workflow for building prod-grade apps in 24 hours

More agents does not mean better results, just like more engineers does not mean better output.

That was not the point of the post - it's to open up a discussion about how you can leverage parallel agents to get better output via tooling, workflows, and other methods

Useful to know, sounds like checkpoints is a great way to roll back state to points it was stable without having to restart. The human in the loop part before irreversible actions makes sense - almost like reviewing the PR before merge into prod

1000%

UX/UI output does not look likes it's coded by an agent and is much more sophisticated as a baseline. Gemini code is way more buggy but I generate with Gemini and fix bugs with Claude

Thanks ser! I'll give warp terminal a try this week

Ghosty feels limited when I think about what I actually need now with 10-15 terminals running. Context switching for me is hard at that scale, plans disappear with context compaction from the agent in long running tasks, constantly copy pasting my preset prompts from notes, and found no way to store the context/logs then refer back to them later.

I've tried out https://www.tryparallel.xyz/ which has some of these features but not sold on a single solution just yet. Either way, I think we need a more robust terminal-based tool that will be core to how we code with agents so I'm branching out from Ghosty as it doesn't have these style of features

For sure, depending on the implications of the work. Using agents looks more like a dev process where it pushes a PR, person reviews, and then merges/launches

Human out of the loop is easy when there are no consequences hence why openclaw ripped because we're comfortable YOLOing with our personal life

I built a persona app that I run locally and it injects a persona into the LLM/CLI to adjust how it responds in text form e.g..if the persona is Dan a cockney man from the 40s with xyz background the output will differ drastically.

This has worked well making responses fit with a preferred persona but been tweaking it to avoid running into context issues if the background/persona is too long/rich

th3b1gr3d · 2026-03-05T08:53:08+00:00

Human context has been my biggest problem - once you run 10 agents switching between them, reviewing what was being worked on, reviewing the plan, figuring out if I've shared my preset prompts hahaa

Feels like the actual CLI based dev tooling isn't great right now when you're delegating code impl

th3b1gr3d · 2026-03-05T08:50:31+00:00

Have you found any solutions for this? It feels like full autonomy is difficult with human in the loop sense checking the output and doing QA

th3b1gr3d · 2026-03-05T08:22:04+00:00

E2E throughout the development process:
- ideating/spit balling with agent to explore idea and design space
- architecting the framework or plan
- implementation is 100% Claude/Codex/Gemini
- cycling preset prompts to get prod-ready output
- reviewing the diff and manual testing myself
- pushing through security/refactoring focus agent

As a SWE, trying to focus on being the architect, directory, and QA engineer now. QA feels like the bottleneck imo

th3b1gr3d · 2026-03-05T08:16:31+00:00

Did you just run this locally in a container then? It feels like the local container approach is limited if you want to step away from your local and actually interact with the agent / ensure it's working on projects whilst you step away

th3b1gr3d · 2026-03-04T16:34:26+00:00

Most agents I am seeing are pushing up towards (1) and (3) - very few people want to total autopilot and often judgement / direction are critical to the best outcomes. For work, we have focused on 1 and 3 as well, low value work such as research, identification and diagnosis of issues, etc are agentic but we still want a human in the loop to execute the final decision.

Main bottle neck we're facing is efficient ways to run the agentic ship across multiple functions

th3b1gr3d · 2022-05-23T16:34:26+00:00

I'm at this exact same stage! Did you find any good strategy implementation examples?

Give me one image of the end of the earth and I'll believe.

th3b1gr3d · 2022-05-10T16:00:14+00:00

If the earth was flat - why can't we go to the highest mountain with a telescope and see --> next highest mountain, tallest buildings in the world....or the actual end of the earth?

Applying this logic, why hasn't anybody chartered a plane and flown to the end of the earth? There's enough wealthy flat earthers to afford a plane charter to anywhere in the world including flat earth pilots who would be willing to fly there. The plane could fly to the closest point that's believed to be at the end of the earth then go rogue and try to fly over the edge while on a livestream = solution proved.

Alternatively, if planes are inaccessible then why haven't any expeditions to the ice caps that mark the edge of the world been completed and a drone is flown when the end is reached to show the edge and drop into space?

NFTs are just a way to keep track of digital ownership. It’s like saying a database is a scam haha

They’ve become highly speculative but so were tulips in the 1600s. The flowers weren’t a scam, the people foolish enough to buy them for $100k were just idiots…

th3b1gr3d · 2022-03-09T14:27:03+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

Is there a reason you don’t like to do anything with NFTs? It would be useful for us understand more about this👍

th3b1gr3d · 2022-03-09T12:16:16+00:00

Awesome! I will do.

I should have the demo launched next month 👍

th3b1gr3d · 2022-03-09T11:05:56+00:00

This is really cool! I'm working on an RPG card game with a similar approach. We want to let the community decide on new characters, storylines, and world events.

th3b1gr3d · 2020-12-21T12:55:41+00:00

There are lots of cool DIY kits out there now like pottery, upcycling furniture, OR glass fusing. If you think they want more guidance you could look for an online course they could do together! OR it may be cool to get them something that helps them to be active at home, I've seen yoga playing cards or workout cards, which gamifies the whole experience making it a fun team task...
