specs are half "intent engineering" (thanks @jonbell) and half archeology specs should never state an archeological fact without you being able to instantly reference the source working with the incredible @AdamMocarski on making this idea beautiful and useful today

if software is spec, what if we got AI to make specs that weren't slop? working on this (very inspired by the beauty of makingsoftware.com by @DanHollick)

david showed me a demo of @obvious agents a few months back, and it was the first time i saw enough of the stack coming together that a normie startup could continuously and safely delegate complex, multi-hour engineering (and non-engineering) tasks to a non-human.

😊 One of the things I love about building in this moment is rediscovering and relearning the primitives/foundations across so many disciplines: - Computer Science - Psychology - Human Computer Interactions - Philosophy - Aesthetics & Ergonomics - Writing, Language, and Literature - etc What a wonderful time to build and learn.
