About this episode

The episode discusses the use of coding agents and extensions in development environments to enhance coding efficiency.

Hey, this is a free podcast. However, if you feel you want to support me, then check out Patreon . I will have some more detailed deep dives for Patreon members as well as one-to-one sessions. Or just buy a unicorn a coffee here! Oh, and yes, I have ended up on YouTube (doesn’t everyone eventually?): https://www.youtube.com/@justfifteenmins but don’t worry, no ugly face to worry about (yet!). Okay, most coding agents (copilot, claude code, codex etc.) have plan modes and so on, but sometimes you just need the overview perspective when creating code or adding features. As I have been banging on for the last few weeks about SKILLS.MD (open spec for coding agents to focus your prompts and son), then these two extensions for VS Code (and therefore Antigravity, Cursor etc.) and JetBrains etc. (as well as standalone I think!) take that step a little further and makes things a little more GUI driven. I have used Traycer before and it is great at spec driven development (as the cool kids used to say) but as of now, Verdent has some really interesting features - really like having a complete coding team. Anyway, take a listen for more info! .. oh and not to forget using Olama direct in VS…
