Hello all. I am currently one of the Senior Quality Assurance Engineers working for the api behind the Web and Mobile app of Austrian post. I am new in Nextflow in general and I am trying to follow the agentic engineering path. So while it seems that some very first workflows that were created using llms are working, I cannot say that I am actually learning the tool. I believe those new in nextflow might have experienced the same. Any advice from the experienced ones ? Where should one draw the line ?

If your goal is to learn nextflow, I'd barely let an agent write anything at all. Instead, I'd suggest flipping the prompt: write as much of the code yourself, and then let an agent review it and give you feedback
Nice that you're here and trying out Nextflow though! What kinds of things are you trying to build? Anything we can help with?

Many thanks @Phil Ewels for the welcome. Well it is a bit backwards. Not rushing to build anything. Wanted to learn something new and use it in pet projects, first exploiting its ability to do things in parallel. It will be an after midnight occupation for now 🙂
