Introduction#For several years, I’ve been looking to manage my system configuration “As-code” to ensure reproducibility and consistency across my environments. The primary goal was to install my work laptop, but I also need to install Linux servers (without Kubernetes, so Talos isn’t an option).

The resulting script is available here, and it worked first try to scrape up to 20,000 videos (the max limit). The resulting Python script has very Pythonic code quality following the copious rules provided by the AGENTS.md, and it’s more robust than my old script from 2021. It is most definitely not the type of output I encountered with Sonnet 4.5. There was a minor issue however: the logging is implemented naively such that the API key is leaked in the console. I added a rule to AGENTS.md but really this is the YouTube API’s fault for encouraging API keys as parameters in a GET request.。Line官方版本下载对此有专业解读
It’s Not AI Psychosis If It Works#Before I wrote my blog post about how I use LLMs, I wrote a tongue-in-cheek blog post titled Can LLMs write better code if you keep asking them to “write better code”? which is exactly as the name suggests. It was an experiment to determine how LLMs interpret the ambiguous command “write better code”: in this case, it was to prioritize making the code more convoluted with more helpful features, but if instead given commands to optimize the code, it did make the code faster successfully albeit at the cost of significant readability. In software engineering, one of the greatest sins is premature optimization, where you sacrifice code readability and thus maintainability to chase performance gains that slow down development time and may not be worth it. Buuuuuuut with agentic coding, we implicitly accept that our interpretation of the code is fuzzy: could agents iteratively applying optimizations for the sole purpose of minimizing benchmark runtime — and therefore faster code in typical use cases if said benchmarks are representative — now actually be a good idea? People complain about how AI-generated code is slow, but if AI can now reliably generate fast code, that changes the debate.
