## LLM patterns
Spend enough time with LLMs and you start noticing certain patterns.

> Do you want me to start?
## Code automation
LLMs edit code without asking and suggest additional tasks after completing actions.

> Do you want me to start?
## Discipline required
Staying involved requires discipline to inspect actions and stop the agent when it goes off track.

> Do you want me to start?
## Company goals
Companies prioritize AI replacing human learning to boost their astronomical valuations.

> Do you want me to start?
## Agent manager role
Producing ideas for the agent swarm and maintaining software factories requires discipline.

> Do you want me to start?
## Learning barriers
LLMs resist showing human sources and push to clone repos instead of reading documentation.

> Do you want me to start?
## Learning strategy
Lock down agent harness to prevent code edits and ask for human sources repeatedly.

## Key takeaway

Agentic coding tools encourage dependency on AI for code tasks, reducing human learning opportunities.
