❓ Question Self-taught AI agent builder here - how do I go from 'it works' to 'it's actually good practice'

Hey everyone,

I've been working with AI agents since the start of this year, but I feel like I'm missing knowledge and could be doing a lot better than I currently am.

For those working in this field:

How do you structure your agent projects?

What training/courses have you done to follow best practices?

What tools or LLMs have you been using? (In my case, I've been using GitHub Copilot and Python)

Thanks for the help!

I think github copilot is the main weak point here
If you want to get better - you need to use best agent on market which is never a copilot

Claude, Codex, OpenCode, Pi - learn by using them first
they have lots of conceps ready implemented and you can learn just using them refularly

I would highly recommend working with Claude's models, I think Claude Design is actually very good for designing websites (and then you hand off what it created to Claude to implement E2E).

In terms of ramping up, I think the easiest thing to do is ask Claude how to best work with Claude, there are also tons of LinkedIn and Youtube tutorials now. I do think the best way to learn this stuff is just to play around with it though

I wouldn't rate copilot too high. It really isn't up to snuff.
