0xAA(@0xAA_Science):Uncle Bob Martin has been coding for nearly 60 years. His agent strategy: Don’t read the code—make it run the gauntlet. I turned that idea into old-coder—an open-source skill with 10+ checks and an Evidence Report. 500⭐️ on GitHub.

I’m significantly older than you. I started coding in the late 60s. My current strategy is to not read any of the code written by my agents. That’s the only way I can take advantage of their productivity. What I do instead is to surround the agents with extreme constraints. Unit tests, gherkin tests, QA procedures, quality metrics, mutation testing, test coverage, and a plethora of others. In the end, I have very high confidence in the code they produce because they’ve had to run the gauntlet of all of my constraints and tests.
