Codemoo: Demonstrating How Coding Agents Work | Real Python Podcast #314
How do you assemble the core pieces of a coding agent? How are developers defining projects through conversation and introspection? This week on the show, Geir Arne Hjelle returns to talk about his recent project to demonstrate how coding agents work under the hood. 👉 Links from the show: https://realpython.com/podcasts/rpp/314/ Geir Arne was my first guest on this program and has returned often over the years. He's been exploring how coding agents work and has built a demonstration tool to explain them. We also discuss how he is using LLM tools in his work. We talk about moving beyond Spec-Driven Development to using tools that help you build architecture documents through thorough questioning sessions.
