Coding Agents discussion: ideas worth trying

[siennaonquest]

I wanted to start a broader ideas worth trying thread around Coding Agents.

A useful angle is advanced workflows, but it also connects with best workflow. Different tools and workflows can produce very different results even when the goal is similar.

It would be interesting to compare practical examples, experiments, setups, or lessons that show where Coding Agents is genuinely useful and where it still needs improvement.

The point about coding and agents is interesting. In practice I would keep the first test simple, record what worked, and only add extra complexity if it solves a specific limitation. It is usually easier to troubleshoot when each change is tested on its own.

One thing worth trying with Coding Agents discussion: ideas worth trying is a controlled comparison around coding and agents. Use the same input for each test and note what changes in the output rather than judging from a single run. That should make it easier to tell whether the change is actually helping.
