alt Hacker NewsThe discourse around AI is that we’ve unlocked a whole new unsupervised paradigm of development; but you’re basically describing how Google has built code for a decade, just with humans of different levels of trust instead of AI.
And I’m not saying that to poke fun at you (my workflow is essentially identical to yours), or at Google, but rather to say that there’s nothing new :)
AI is a fantastic accelerator of effective and ineffective workflows alike. It’s showing us which are effective and ineffective on way shorter timescales / in realtime!
That is actually reassuring. I used to try to work this way with people but the culture where I work didn’t align and I found it easier to work this way alone by trying to put myself into critique mode and so on. Now much better to get AIs to do it. And I find the more I polish the plan the less expensive the AI needed to implement too.
