Backpressure is all you need
Read OriginalThis article discusses the pitfalls of two common approaches to using coding agents—unattended operation leading to low-quality PRs and over-reliance on human review defeating automation. It introduces a third approach inspired by systems engineering: backpressure. By using automated tests and strong typing (e.g., TypeScript) as backpressure mechanisms, agents can validate their own work before human intervention, making longer unattended sessions safer and reducing the review burden. The article explains how backpressure forces producers to fix issues early, improving code quality and team efficiency.
