Automating Myself Out of Development

I wish people would describe in more detail the tasks they use LLMs to code. My experience is that simple components in an existing architecture are fine, but anything requiring architectural considerations quickly becomes a mess. On my projects (e.g. a ui framework), running multiple agents in parallel would just increase the speed at which it can stuff up the project.

More Yegge tier psychosis.

I don't know if I’m overly critical but there’s gotta be a middle ground between totally AI pilled people that otherwise have no talents, and control freak veteran developers who cant let go

My current process is also using Github projects in a normal scrum style way, with many tickets written or fleshed out and state managed by the LLM, and it doubling as the memory system

Completely leapfrogging all these other open and closed source concoctions and being more effective

But its effective enough that I don’t need OP’s final form state of still approving everything

Auto-mode is fine. Worktrees are built into Claude Code now. I just tell it to classify tickets as sequential or parallel possible and spawn subagents to tackle all of the tickets in the todo list

They all get their own context window its pretty perfect now

in the meantime I work in a couple tabs of Claude Design for different flows of any client side app. My philosophy has been that devs could pick up graphic and UI/UX design easily, its just still a full time job to make variations of layouts and portray their states.

UI/UX is not a full time job anymore.

And I use Claude chat to flesh out aspects of the overall idea

I think you may be overcomplicating your workflow in the concluding state.

Overall I agree that planning and intention is now most of the time, before a 10 subagent precision strike is initiated
