Ponytail tool makes AI coding agents write less code
Original: DietrichGebert/ponytail
Developer Dietrich Gebert released Ponytail, an open-source JavaScript project that pushes AI coding agents to behave like 'the laziest senior dev in the room', favouring deleting or avoiding code over writing more of it. Its tagline — the best code is the code you never wrote — is drawing attention among developers experimenting with agent behaviour prompts.
Why now: Developers are actively exploring new ways to rein in over-eager AI coding agents.
