The article discusses the author's personal practices with agentic coding using Claude Code, focusing on a budget-friendly subscription and utilizing the Sonnet model for coding tasks. The author emphasizes the role of AI agents assigned with full permissions to manage coding jobs efficiently. This method reduces reliance on traditional IDEs, favoring final edits in Vim. While acknowledging the fast-paced changes in technology, the writer maintains that certain foundational concepts in agentic coding are likely to endure despite the evolution of tools and practices.
I predominantly use Claude Code with the cheaper Max subscription for $100 a month, which is adequate for my needs, preferring its outputs over the more expensive Opus model.
I almost exclusively assign a job to an agent with full permissions and monitor it, minimizing reliance on the IDE and limiting usage mainly to final edits.
