Thoughts on starting new projects with LLM agents

This article details the author's experience using LLM agents to build a new from-scratch Go project called 'watgo', contrasting it with a previous Python rewrite. The author describes a workflow of iterating on design with agents, committing small reviewable CLs, and using multiple rounds of revision. Key insights include the importance of keeping a human in the loop for maintainable projects, avoiding 'vibe-coding' for serious work, and acknowledging that while agents boost productivity, debugging and maintenance remain significant challenges. The article is relevant to IT/technology as it covers software development, LLM-assisted coding, and best practices for project management.
