They keep two Hermes agent profiles running: one is a personal assistant that manages their backlog and sends morning reminders, and the other is a coding helper for their personal projects. For a change, they ask the coding profile to make it, then leave it to work unattended.
The agent works through the change on its own, then submits a pull request and lets them know it is ready to review. They say it is faster than they are at basic coding tasks.
Set up a coding agent profile for your repository. Describe the change you want in plain language, let it work unattended on the task, and have it open a pull request when done so you only need to review the diff before merging.
