Cleaning the mess
For the past month, I have been extremely busy to the point where everything, including my sleep cycle, has messed up a lot. I can't share many details as to why, but it was quite productive. Now, after a short hiatus, I wanted to get back into my journey on the matrix city. What does agentic coding do to your projects?
Back in the day, when everything was done by hand, I could come back to a project and get right along. It would take more than six months to forget what was done. Now, it looks chaotic, and it feels hard to get back into.
After that, I started questioning: is it a flaw in my design that I was having a hard time going through the project? Or is it something else?
One thing I learned today is that too much modularization isn't good. Agentic coding follows all the general principles of normal software development, and it is fine. As I am building matrix city, I am learning a lot about how systems evolve over time and how important it is to fully immerse myself in the code, despite it being a part of agentic coding.
Having the overall general idea is fine as long as the system supports scaling. If the system doesn't support any scaling, then understand everything so that you can modify it later.
Taking a break definitely gives a fresh perspective and resets the mental fatigue on the project!
