Delegate tactical work while retaining strategic thinking

Matt Pocock says agents can handle knowledge, syntax and tactical work, leaving people to handle strategic and long-term thinking.

Supporting evidence

Original excerpt

I realized, okay, the AI is now good enough that you can delegate to it. You can actually make structures around the agents. The agents can handle the knowledge, the syntax, the sort of, I call it the tactical stuff. And you can handle the strategic stuff, the long-term thinking.

Prepare codebases for agents that start fresh

Matt Pocock argues that people can learn to work around a difficult codebase, while an agent starts fresh each session. He therefore sees a need to optimize codebases for a new starter.

Supporting evidence

Original excerpt

A human can work around a bad codebase. They just develop memory. They just slam their head against the wall again and again and again until they've got there. But... An agent can't do that. It starts fresh every single session. And so you need to optimize your code base for that person.

Supporting evidence

Original excerpt

If I had to put it in a word, it would be introspection. It would be looking at yourself and the ability to take what you do and put that into something the AI can work with. You're essentially trying to put your process into words
