HOW TO BE A WORLD-CLASS AGENTIC ENGINEER

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Every new generation of agents will force engineers to rethink what is optimal. In this situation, less is more. Using too many libraries and harnesses locks engineers into a solution for a problem that may not exist in future generations of agents. If a real problem existed, and there was a good solution for it, frontier companies would be the biggest users of that solution, and they would incorporate that solution into their product. It's possible to do ground-breaking work now with just basic CLI and understanding a few basic principles about agentic engineering.
