HOW I PROGRAM WITH AGENTS
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
Unlike agentless LLMs that act like a virtual whiteboard, agents can use tools like bash, patch, and web search to navigate codebases, fix errors using compiler feedback, and improve API usage. While agents are great for handling larger codebases and automating tasks, they also have downsides like increased time and token consumption. Also, containers should be used to solve agent safety issues and allow for the parallel running of agents.
