    Gotta be honest, almost every "how to use AI" resource seems pointless to me. I'm either going to ask the AI how to do it, or if it's about using the AI then we can just bake it into the harness or wait for Anthropic/OpenAI to do it for me because they're always trivial.

    All of these resources on agentic workflows, managing agent memory, harness engineering, etc. appear to just be theatre to me.

      Not only that, but all of this tooling around models has such a short shelf life as the models themselves grow in capabilities, they absorb the tooling. We've already seen it over and over again.

    Thanks! I also like the OpenAI Cookbook: https://developers.openai.com/cookbook

    Other AI labs also tend to publish examples and cookbooks on GitHub and Hugging Face, so it's always worth keeping an eye on those as well.

    Somehow all the with/without cookbook design examples look vibe coded on both sides to me.

    I'm not enough of a designer to be able to point exactly at what makes it so, but Claude does seem to have a somewhat limited repertoire of styles.

    Maybe if you could point more precisely at the required changes, you could discourage it?

    I thought it would be a litteral cookbook on how to make plausible/feasible recipes with LLMs (we're not here yet sadly).

    They could have done at least one pass on the UI. Can't even get simple table spacing right

    So like OpenAI's Cookbook which has existed for years and no one reads?

    Recipes like this get baked into the next iteration of a model.
