People building agents today are mostly doing one-shot. Meaning they write one and that's it. Yesterday, I was watching the YC Lightcone podcast: "Inside Claude Code With Its Creator Boris Cherny" and one of the things Boris, creator of Claude Code and head of Claude Code in anthropic, said is that they delete the CLAUD.MD a lot because they want the new models to take over. That insight tells us a lot that we cannot just settle for whatever prompts we have. Besides that, depending on how we write the prompt, we might use more or fewer tokens; there are ways to better structure agents, workflows, and skills. For this blog post, I will cover some lessons learned while building and improving agents, workflows, and skills. I did a bunch of experiments; in fact, I wrote 7 incarnations of my agent skill. To test the agent's skill, I asked the agent to build a Twitter-like application so I could evaluate the quality of the code and solution as a proxy for the agent's s...

For a long time, software engineering had a stable way of doing software. Yes, not all companies had the same level of maturity and properly digested previous movements like Lean, Agile, and DevOps. However, right now we are living in a quite interesting time when we are reconsidering what we know and what worked in the past in favor of perhaps a better way to build software. Fully acknowledge that we don't have the answer to what the winner is yet. Many industries are being disrupted by AI, but no industry is being more disrupted than technology itself. We never saw anything like what we are seeing right now. The only way to go forward right now is to experiment, read, socialize, and reflect on what works and what does not work. 

DevOps Engineering is about Workflow Currently, I work doing a bunch of different things(like most of Brazilians). I do Architecture, DevOps Engineering, Software Engineering, Agile Coaching and a bit of management. There different types of companies and cultures but basically or you are more specialized or more cross-functional I think in general Brazil is similar like Europe and more cross-functional and the US is more specialized but really depends on the company. I also run a small team doing: Dynomite / DM , Serverless Remediation, Stress Test and Chaos Platform and Telemetry / Observability. My teams need to provide solutions(engineering)but also Stability .
