Ask HN: How to Start with LLMs/Vibecoding?
You will have to decide how you like to work, some people are trying to go all in on how agents work: let them run long sessions, set constraints through /skills, evals and context but then trust them to fully implement the code (dont even bother reading any code, reading code is an anti pattern). Others use AI like a junior developer, giving clear discrete tasks, monitoring and steering for architectural and coding style course correction and working on teaching it better practices through context management and rules. They should have clear acceptance criteria that act as gates to close out stories/sprints/epics.
