Dev uses Amp coding agent as a teacher, trading extra tokens for learning
HankYeomans · x · 2026-10-10
A developer shares an unconventional but effective workflow: using the AI coding agent Amp as an on-the-go tutor. Instead of just shipping code, he constantly asks it "what's this, why this, what does this mean," gradually learning to do things right. He acknowledges it burns more tokens, but finds Amp's replies clean and clear, making it a worthwhile learning companion.
