ABOUT / SHIJIE XIE
I build coding agents,
and ship my own work with them.
I'm Shijie Xie. I build coding agents at MiniMax, then use them to ship my own work. Been through every shift in AI coding: prompts, context, harness. This site keeps my public work and the notes from each.
What I keep coming back to
Across several jobs, I've kept coming back to one question: how can developers get more done? From developer productivity to code intelligence to AI coding, the tools changed, and so did the calls I had to make.
These days I care most about how an agent gets the right context, how its results get verified, and how mistakes surface while it's still running.

What I write about
Putting AI to work
The agent tools I build, how I use them, and the working methods worth keeping.
Forming my own view
Starting from real tasks: what the tools can do, where they stop, and what the results show.
Changing how I work
As the tools change, how engineers should adjust the way they work, me included.
