Breaking Things to Build Better Things

In the not-too-distant future when we're all using AI assistants — or is that now? — I wonder what happens to all the web services we've come to rely on. I don't think they go away. But I think the relationship changes. Instead of visiting sites, we'll integrate them. The services that get this — the ones that make it easy with clean APIs or CLIs — those will thrive. Not because we don't value what they've built, but because we want it woven into our systems, not siloed in a browser tab.

So, yeah, we're all figuring this out -- don't have your LLM do things a simple script can do repeatedly and reliably. Run the script (have the LLM do it even) and return the data to it. Why? We're all becoming context hoarders -- I know I am. The more I can save the more impressed I am with myself. So, instead of taking the easy, and possibly expensive way out, think about your workflows and figure out where you can optimize. Then have your LLM write your scripts ONCE so you can context hoard for days. Welcome.

I have some, probably, obvious advice when you're building with Claude Code or other agents. Don't mention MVP or prototype! It seems to induce the model to cut more corners than it already does.

My app is *finally* live! A local-ish only RSS/Youtube/Reddit curator that uses AI to prioritize, summarize, and do stuff that matters to YOU. You have all the data, you have all the control. Has a local API (MCP coming soon), config, TUI and some features I use everyday. Ships WITH Fabric integration!

Coming soon..

Just released lspeak (a cli/daemon that does text to speech..includes caching and semantic searching for audio reuse). It's little project I've been using with CC for about a month or so. It's the foundation layer for another project called Clarvis (Jarvis talking to you in CC!) to be released soon. Check it out here: https://github.com/nickpending/lspeak

I recently wrote about this and this continuum is how I think about the AI agent space. The further right you go, the more you're fighting against what AI naturally does well. I'm trying to stay in that sweet spot around bounded execution and bounded autonomy for some project. For others, it's WAAAY left..and AI is great at this.

I like that I can my various "auditor" subagents in CC to tattle on the main thread. It works surprisingly well.

If you find yourself adding a lot of technological or prompt-based guardrails to your agent to get it to do exactly what you want, it might be time to ask yourself the tough question: Do you REALLY need an agent or do you need automation? Once you figure this out and accept that you probably just needed automation, use your AI powerup and let it build it for you! Save agents for what they're actually good at - analysis, synthesis, and bounded tasks..

Trust me, you'll thank me later.

Wrote up my thoughts on Claude Code subagents. I am seeing some patterns emerge: they're pretty good for architectural analysis and exploration, not so for implementation (depending on the type). Custom commands give you the visibility to iterate and improve on implementation tasks. Still early days, but matching the tool to the work type seems to matter.

After burning through tokens with subagents, I learned when they're worth it and when custom commands work better.
