New Agent Workflow: Have AI Implement a Feature Once to Learn, Then Rebuild From Scratch
remilouf · x · 2026-09-07
The author shares a new workflow for working with coding agents: first have the agent implement the feature "to understand the problem," then ask it to rip that implementation out and rebuild it from scratch. The throwaway first pass acts as an exploration prototype, so the rewrite avoids being anchored to the initial approach.
