Transitioning from GUI driven development to AI agent driven development
While I use AI agents everyday to build software, run marketing campaigns and everything in between, it has taken me a while internalise their inner workings sufficiently to build my own agent. Every use case I’d come up with would simply scratched out with the thought “I can already do that with X tool”. So I found it hard to build anything because in my mind there were already ways to get the answers I wanted.
