A developer’s AI coding-agent workflow evolved from line-by-line review to checkpoint updates
nbaschez · x · 2026-07-27
The author describes an evolving workflow with AI coding agents:
- At first, they reviewed and accepted/rejected every individual line.
- As the agents improved, they eventually let them run with almost no intervention.
- Now they prefer to pause at logical checkpoints so the agent explains what it changed, what it learned, and what comes next.
It’s a concise take on how to keep agentic coding productive without losing oversight.
