The five levels of working with AI agents (and why I've stayed at level 3)

ai agents OpenCode

22 Aug 2026

I still run into people who work like this: a browser tab with a chat window open, ask a question, copy the code, paste it into the editor, move on. No agents, no project context, nothing. Many of them also use AI the way you'd use Google: they take the...

A user pinged me on Slack today: he'd upgraded DDEV to 1.25.3 and the AI agents in his projects had lost SSH. DDEV had tightened the web container permissions in the new version (on purpose, and rightly so), and my add-on was leaning on a detail that was never guaranteed...

I don't have impostor syndrome anymore

I haven't felt impostor syndrome in a while. And it's not because I've ended up knowing everything, it's the exact opposite. I know full well there's a ton of stuff that gets past me, and even so it doesn't weigh on me the way it used to. AI moves at...

Monday morning I opened up a task that had come out perfect on Friday. Same task, same prompt, same model. And suddenly the thing couldn't get anything right. What it nailed on the first try Friday, on Monday it couldn't manage on the second or third attempt. Nothing had changed...

The other day I left a RALPH loop running overnight. The idea was for it to run PHPStan, PHPCS and the tests for a module on its own, fix whatever it could, and flag what it couldn't. I went to bed. The next morning all I had to do was...

I've been going back and forth between Claude Code and OpenCode since last year. I started with Claude Code and the Max subscription for client work with Drupal, then moved to OpenCode because it let me plug in cheaper models, and when Anthropic cut off using the subscription through OpenCode...

24 May 2026

Dani from Web Reactiva had me on his podcast to talk about how I use AI day to day with Drupal. Not the theory, but what I actually put into projects with paying clients and code that ships to production. We recorded it, he summed it up in his newsletter...

This week I've had six different situations working with AI where the tool saved me hours, but also tried to slip in solutions that weren't the right ones. I wanted to walk through them because the conversation usually focuses on what AI does well and not much on what it...

15 May 2026

A few days ago I saw a tweet from Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, announcing they were cutting 14% of their workforce. What caught everyone's attention wasn't the layoffs themselves but the rest of the text, where he explains how Coinbase is going to operate from now on under what...

This is not a normal post for this blog. I usually write here about programming, about Drupal, and lately a lot about AI and how it's changing the day-to-day as a freelancer. Today is different. Today it's about economics, demographics, and how Spain is doing. Spain is where I was...
