Love this. Recently I was so inspired by your smolcode implementation & Thorsten’s post on building an agent that I decided to build one :) And yesterday I was unsure whether to show the ugly conversation history implementation to the world but then I thought “fuck it im still learning” and decided to merge that ugliness to main.
I think we should try to make something real first no matter how awful it is, then we can try to make it better.
Are you just getting started with software development and picked a coding agent as your starting project or getting your feet wet with AI as a developer?
More like getting my feet wet, but I’m pretty new to software development too (more than 2 years working with .NET and TS/JS). I tinker with Go mainly during my spare time and try to build small things from scratch as much as possible. It’s a neat way to learn imo.
In that case keep at it! The best way to learn is to do first, and work with theory later – otherwise your brain doesn't have a frame of reference to make sense of the theory.

We have time!
Thank you for the kind words!
