this is how i program btw i pretend a little dev agency lives on my computer

now set up an agent that takes over the manager work!

how do you manage this?? I always get so annoyed by AI talking too much instead of doing the job

i legit treat it like i do projects at my irl dev agency:

- break the tasks down into tiny blocks
- estimate hours and difficulty against each block, if it’s too complex break the block into more pieces
- create a project timeline that shows day over day or week over week arrangement of those blocks
- beg my devs to focus on the assigned tasks for the week (unless they’re ahead of schedule)

here’s the ones for the project the original cast is about: https://github.com/jc4p/fc-connections/blob/main/docs/DEVELOPMENT_TIMELINE.md — “it’s week 1 day 2” really helps ground the responsibility

Thanks! Guess you really have to treat is as a human worker haha

How long do you usually prompt in one thread before it goes weird because of loss of context?

And would be nice to see the mdc files pushed to the repo as well if you don't mind :)

i find it works well with the concept of if one thing is trickier than expected and the AI rabbit holes i can say move into something else, sometimes i also go off script and ask “for the demo on friday whats most impressive thing we can implement today?” — my cursor rules are around specific stuff like “solve the problem im asking you not the generalized version” and “here’s how to do gemini structured api”

awesome thanks! Does the week based planning work well with agents? I'm kinda expecting them to be "slacking" and ignore instructions that come "tomorrow"

Also do you not use cursor project rules at all?
