From context management to harness design, 10 practical habits that eliminate context rot and dramatically improve your coding agent's success rate.

AI agents write code fast, but ML experiments operate on a different timescale — real verification takes days or weeks. One implementation bug can invalidate a promising research direction. One unsaved checkpoint wastes days of training. Superpowers-ML extends software engineering discipline into ML through a four-layer Validation Pyramid that catches problems in minutes, plus a Watchdog system for long-running training — making every attempt count.

This isn't about tools or techniques — it's about the mental model. Vibe Coding is essentially managing Agents, and managing Agents is essentially managing teams. From context rot to organizational architecture, the parallels between leading a team and orchestrating AI agents reveal why the best vibe coders think like managers, not programmers.
