Matt Pocock: Making AI agents build state machines hugely boosts frontend robustness
mattpocockuk · x · 2026-10-16
TypeScript educator Matt Pocock shares a coding-agent workflow tip: he now deliberately has AI agents structure frontend code as state machines (or at least reducers). Every time an agent produces one, he sees a big robustness bump, and future updates become trivial and testable. He recommends the approach for frontend work.
