Tips and best practices for working with AI coding agents. Honestly, we don't have consensus at Vibe Kanban HQ for how to work with coding agents - everyone uses different tools, in different ways. This is just how Louis does it.
How to code Claude Code in 200 lines of code
But the core loop? It's exactly what we built here. The LLM decides what to do, your code executes it, results flow back. That's the whole architecture.
Your thinking rate is fixed
You can't force yourself to think faster. If you try, you're likely to end up making much worse decisions.
A guide for engineers and scientists
Because programming has become an essential component of engineering, science, medicine, media, business, finance, and many other fields, it is important for scientists and engineers to have a basic foundation in computer programming to be competitive.
Tolstoy's coding advice
You should only code when you feel within you some completely new and important idea, clear to you but unintelligible to others, and when the need to express this idea gives you no peace.
Invert, always, invert
...it is in the nature of things that many hard problems are best solved when they are addressed backward.

Habits of high-functioning teams
Our communications with each other should be guided by the robustness principle: Be conservative in what you send, be liberal in what you accept.
Functional code is honest code
That's the goal, really. Simplify understanding. No surprises. Honest code.
Advanced usage of requests
BaseUrlSession allows you to specify the base URL for the HTTP client and to only specify the resource path at the time of the request.
Hadoop with Python
Spark can read files residing on the local filesystem, any storage source supported by Hadoop, Amazon S3, and so on. Spark supports text files, SequenceFiles, any other Hadoop Input Format, directories, compressed files and wildcards.
Python tips and tricks you haven't seen
I want to note that all those features are part of Python standard library, so whenever you decide to implement something in Python first go looking for it in standard library.
