> Spec-driven development is becoming the primary driver of code generation. This sounds like my current "phase" of AI coding. I have had so many project ideas for years that I can just spec out, everything I've thought about, all the little ideas and details, things I only had time to think about, never implement. I then feed it to Claude, and watch it meet my every specification, I can then test it, note any bugs,…

I am going lower level - every individual work item is a "task.md" file, starts initially as a user ask, then add planning, and then the agent checks gates "[ ]" on each subtask as it works through it. In the end the task files remain part of the project, documenting work done. I also keep an up to date mind map for the whole project to speed up start time. And I use git hooks on the tool event to print the current o…

that's similar to the workflow i built, inspired by Recursive Language Models: https://github.com/doubleuuser/rlm-workflow

Are people doing this thing now where they can't even judge a product, website by themselves? Or read and analyze anything without asking an LLM to do it for them. 2026: The year everyone fried their brain with Think for Me SaaS.

I know a guy who uses AI to answer every question in his life. It tells him how to raise his kids, how to spend time with his wife. He takes it to the park with him and asks it what he should do there (on his phone). When people ask him questions, he forwards those questions directly to his phone and uses the response.

For any new piece of technology, there are a subset of people for whom it will completely and utterly destroy.

Either the models are good and this sort of platform gets swept away, or they aren’t, and this sort of platform gets swept away.

The most interesting thing about everyone trying to position themselves as AI experts is the futility of it: the technology explicitly promises tomorrows models will be better then todays, which means the skill investment is deflationary: the best time to learn anything is tomorrow when a better model will be better at doing the same work - because you don't need to be (conversely if you're not good at debugging and…

You nailed it. Thats exactly how I feel. Wake me up when the dust settles, and i'll deep dive and learn all the ins and outs. The churn is just too exhausting.

The lack of explanation of what it is and does is a tell of what gullible audience they are seeking.

Tech marketing has become a lot like dating, no technical explanation and intellectual honesty, just word words words and unreasonable expectations.

People usually cannot be honest in their romantic affairs, and here it is the same. Nobody can state: we just want to be between you and whatever you want to accomplish, rent seeking forever!

Will they ever care to elaborate HOW things works and the rationale behind stating this provides any benefit whatsoever? Perhaps this is not intended for those type of humans that care about understanding and logic?

They know hence: forget what it does, it was created by the ex CEO of another commonly used thingy!

I shall give the benefit of a doubt given they are "building in the open". I feel my current setup already does all this though, so I struggle to see the point

It’s funny. The whole “review intent", "learning" from past mistakes, etc, is exactly what my current set up does too. For free. Using .md files said agents generate as they go.

Agents can save their reasoning into markdown files, and commit those files to Git. Are "Checkpoints" just a marketing term for that, or there's more to it?

This is about doing it seamlessly and flawlessly then sharing it across a team.

So using something like the compound engineering plugin and committing its "brainstorms", plans, and "solutions"?

You might wake up in a whole different biome, Rip Van Winkle.
