Should I wait—or start something else? 🤔<br> That’s one of the more unexpected challenges of agentic coding.</p> <p>If the agent needs another twenty minutes, I could tackle a different topic. If it needs a decision in thirty seconds, switching context might cost more than it saves.</p> <p>And sometimes, just as I get into that second topic, the first agent comes back with a question.<br> What I want to know isn’t only:<br> “When will the code be finished?”</p> <p><strong>It’s:<br> “When will this task need my attention again?”</strong></p> <p>I’ve written two articles exploring that problem:<br> 💡 The story: time planning, context switching, and the awkward gap between delegating work and reviewing the result.</p> <p><a href="https://berndkuhlen.de/notes/ai-coding-assistant-honest-eta.html" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://berndkuhlen.de/notes/ai-coding-assistant-honest-eta.html</a></p> <p>🛠️ The practical companion: a small Python example for reporting attention states and rough time windows—and clearly marking estimates that have expired.</p> <p><a href="https://berndkuhlen.de/notes/agent-eta-attention-window-howto.html" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://berndkuhlen.de/notes/agent-eta-attention-window-howto.html</a></p> <p>The example uses explicitly reported states and estimates. It doesn’t pretend to predict an agent’s progress automatically.</p> <p>How do you handle the gap: stay with the agent, switch tasks, or run another agent?</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F9btnip4ghwf13xus5isy.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F9btnip4ghwf13xus5isy.png" alt=" " width="800" height="472"></a></p> <h1> AgenticCoding #ClaudeCode #DeveloperExperience </h1> agents ai productivity Bernd K Sat, 24 Oct 2026 13:08:34 +0000 https://dev.to/bernd_k_a0b7b8e88db3f0e90/from-scratch-paper-to-an-app-how-to-track-your-training-progress-properly--3b2k https://dev.to/bernd_k_a0b7b8e88db3f0e90/from-scratch-paper-to-an-app-how-to-track-your-training-progress-properly--3b2k <div class="crayons-card c-embed text-styles text-styles--secondary"> <div class="c-embed__content"> <div class="c-embed__cover"> <a href="https://berndkuhlen.de/notes/kraftwerk-from-notebook-to-training-app.html" class="c-link align-middle" rel="noopener noreferrer"> <img alt="" src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fberndkuhlen.de%2Fassets%2Fsocial%2Fkraftwerk-from-notebook-to-training-app.png" height="420" class="m-0" width="800"> </a> </div> <div class="c-embed__body"> <h2 class="fs-xl lh-tight"> <a href="https://berndkuhlen.de/notes/kraftwerk-from-notebook-to-training-app.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link"> From a notebook to Kraftwerk: why I built my own training app — Bernd Kuhlen </a> </h2> <p class="truncate-at-3"> After months of searching for a suitable strength-training app, I built Kraftwerk with Codex—and imported my handwritten training history from photos. </p> <div class="color-secondary fs-s flex items-center"> <img alt="favicon" class="c-embed__favicon m-0 mr-2 radius-0" src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fberndkuhlen.de%2Fassets%2Ffavicon-32x32.png" width="32" height="32"> berndkuhlen.de </div> </div> </div> </div> buildinpublic mobile softwaredevelopment
