Astra nails bug fixes with detailed instructions, after earlier regressions
DanWahlin · x · 2026-09-06
Developer Dan Wahlin shares hands-on experience fixing code with Astra: an earlier attempt introduced regressions, leaving him debating whether to revert or let it fix its own mess. After providing detailed instructions, Astra nailed the fixes. The takeaway from this first-hand agent workflow: invest time learning a model's strengths and weaknesses, and always watch for regressions.
