17 iterations with a personal agent: steering beats tool-picking for live website edits
sujingshen · x · 2026-10-11
A developer spent a Friday morning updating his live website with a personal agent across 17 iterations: adding articles, moving the email link, fixing alignment, filling a 3x3 grid, validating the theme.
- The workflow: see it, describe it, change it, verify it, repeat — the agent handled mechanics while he steered
- A quoted reply adds that a dozen back-and-forth rounds is normal, and stating requirements clearly up front matters more than which tool you pick
