By the end of this post, you'll learn how I work faster with coding agents and run more work in parallel.
Development looks very different form a year ago.
I can't remember the last time I wrote a line of code myself. Over time, I've built workflows and systems that let me trust agents with much more of the development process.
I was also fortunate to start working on a large greenfield project right when agentic coding started picking up. For the project, I intentionally chose popular, battle-tested tools like shadcn, Tailwind, and React Query. They're well documented and widely used, so agents already understand most of the patterns around them.
The project had six frontend developers working on it at its peak — the largest frontend team I've worked with on a single project. While the team was building features, I was working on our custom coding agent.
