DON'T WASTE YOUR BACK PRESSURE

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Agents have improved over the last year due to structures that provide them with automated feedback and allow them to work on longer-horizon tasks. This back pressure allows agents to identify mistakes, and the feedback helps them align on tasks for much longer. Developers should think about how to build back pressure into their workflows. Afterwards, they can loop agents until they have stamped out all of the inconsistencies and issues.
