Why would you go full on ? There is no learning curve it seems like. What is there to learn about using AI to code?

The learning curve is actually huge. If you just vibe code with AI, the results are going to suck. You basically have to reify all of your software engineering artifacts and get AI to iterate on them and your code as if it were am actual software engineering (who forgot everything whenever you rebooted it, so that’s why you have to make sure it can re-read artifacts to get its context back up to speed again). So a lot more planning, design, and test documentation than you would do in a normal project. The nice thing is that AI will maintain all of it as long as you set up the right structure.

We are also in the early days still, I guess everyone has their own way of doing this ATM.

I hope you are joking and/or being sarcastic with this comment…
