I wonder if the rough draft approach is a good prompt for an agent. Since it can draft more quickly, you can review more quickly & get it on the right track.


A lot of established dev practices - like this one - are effective with AI generation. Another is the super-valuable but less common product spec that spends a lot of effort and verbiage defining what is NOT included. LLMs are helped greatly with explicit guardrails and restrictions.

I fear this is different from the "code slop jello poured over a bespoke marshmallow salad of a system" problem though. Mostly for the same reasons that Brooks described that make SW inherently hard 60+ years ago. It feels like the JS framework / SPA experience but with every.single. developer. and the 10x "improvement" is just speed.
