A few random notes from claude coding quite a bit last few weeks. Coding workflow. Given the latest lift in LLM coding capability, like many others I rapidly went from about 80% manual+autocomplete coding and 20% agents in November to 80% agent coding and 20% edits+touchups in

💯 @ Spec-driven development It's the limit of imperative -> declarative transition, basically being declarative entirely. Relatedly my mind was recently blown by , extreme and early but inspiring example.
Love the word "comprehension debt", haven't encountered it so far, it's very accurate. It's so very tempting to just move on when the LLM one-shotted something that seems to work ok.
The nearest neighbor really is some kind of a junior engineer. Its ideas about what experiments to run on e.g. nanochat have been surprisingly bad, but its execution on ideas I've given it have been surprisingly good.
It feels like I’m cheating. Which is a very weird feeling to have. It takes a while to unpack. It’s because some code that used to be a point of pride and high IQ and knowledge is suddenly free and instant and it’s very disorienting.
@steipete you can do it! :)
