Boris, a member of the Claude Code development team, shared tips for using Claude Code and the future of agent-based coding. Boris believes that agents are quietly changing the way we write code. In the past, we mostly wrote code manually, occasionally relying on auto-completion to fill in the gaps. Now, more and more developers are turning to agent-based coding tools like Claude Code, offloading mundane and repetitive tasks to the tool, allowing them to focus more on "what" rather than "how." He also mentioned that if you're new to Claude Code, there's no need to rush into letting it write code for you. A better approach is to first use it to understand and explore the codebase, asking questions like how to implement a certain feature, why a certain section of code was written the way it was, or asking it to review the code history. Once you're accustomed to this collaborative approach with agents, you can gradually use it to write actual code, fix bugs, automatically generate commit messages, write tests, and more. Boris recommends letting Claude Code automatically generate simple tasks, while for medium-level tasks, you can work with it to plan solutions first and then let it implement them. When faced with particularly complex requirements, you still need to personally steer the direction; the agent is merely your assistant. With the continuous advancements in various agent-based coding tools, Boris feels that the barrier to entry for development is actually getting lower and lower. You no longer have to memorize a ton of complex technical details, allowing you to focus more on creativity and ideas. For example, if you suddenly come up with a product idea and start working on it right away, Claude Code can help you streamline many implementation details, making development incredibly efficient. Boris also shared the Claude Code development team's approach. They prioritize user feedback, with all team members using Claude Code to write their own code daily. If they encounter any issues, they can directly report them in Slack, and their development colleagues will quickly follow up with fixes. This closed-loop "use-and-change" approach allows for rapid product evolution. There are also an increasing number of new features and extensions, such as support for custom commands, automatic logging, and even the ability to collaborate with other tools. Looking ahead to the future of agent-based programming, Boris believes that the trend toward agent-based coding will become increasingly pronounced. In the future, developers may focus more on proposing goals and ideas, with intelligent agents responsible for their implementation. Even code reviews could be performed by these agents first. At that point, programming will feel more like collaborating with a super-assistant than toiling away on your own. For developers seeking to adapt to this shift, Boris advises strengthening basic programming skills while also being more creative and independent, experimenting with new tools, and focusing their time and energy on what truly matters.
