Stop fighting AI coding agents. Make them fight for you.

I juggle Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Codex daily. Here's what actually works:

• The secret is context engineering—feed AI code that works, it writes code that works

• Use open-source aggressively. Load proven repos with /add-dir as context

• Debugging servers? Let AI call your APIs directly—it catches errors in real-time, not you describing symptoms for hours

• Stuck with one agent? Switch mid-task without losing context
