alt Hacker NewsYes, I spent too much time meta programming while working on desplega.ai (my startup). And I believe currently the best approach is a mix.
Have the swarm work on stuff you could delegate to an intern and basically have the feedback loop with it in slack and github.
On the other hard locally focus on the hard things you want to control.
I too was convinced at one point the spec is the program.
That it doesn't matter the implementation stack.
But, after wasting too much time in the meta, with nothing really to show for, I returned to controlling the programming process in fine detail. Progressive agentic/vibe coding, if I was to give it a name.
But it could be that I'm slow to understand how it can be done in a better way.
