Here is what I think every new or old developer should do to master the craft in the agentic era.

Order does not matter.

Normalization functions

Sometimes when coding, we discover a few different representations of the same data.

It can be tempting to write a function to combine these different representations.

Example:

function normalizeSku(sku: string|number) {

Can you do a first pass of cleanups? Pay attention to:

• Leaked keys

• Indirectly leaked keys

• Overly defensive programming and hiding failures instead of letting errors bubble up, also while adding too much code.

  • This is perhaps the most common and annoying. The AI wants to build trust by making code that can’t fail, but that ultimately is just gaslighting us into thinking it works / is robust. It’s delaying finding issues and making unmaintainable code.

  Here is an example:

Inlining SVG styles easily with svgo

First install svgo

npm install -g svgo

#!/bin/bash

if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
  echo "Usage: $0 <search_pattern>"
  echo "  Searches for pattern in file contents and filenames"
  exit 1
fi

search_pattern=$1

Rust neural networks with candle

This is a complete example of using candle to train a simple neural network on a XOR dataset.

Why build this?

Hopefully, this helps some folks trying candle for the first time!

const object_to_watch = obj; // Change to the object you are inspecting
const property_to_watch = 'example'; // Change to the property name in the object you are inspecting (here obj.example)

Reproducing Flaky Tests Tips and Tricks

Use a slower machine

Some time-sensitive test may be easier to reproduce on slower machines.
