That "first draft" still has to start with a spec. Your only real choice is whether the spec is an actual part of project documentation with a human in the loop, or it's improvised on the spot within the AI's hidden thinking tokens. One of these choices is preferable to the other.
replySo, rollback and try again with the insight.
replyAI makes it cheap to implement complex first drafts and iterations.
I'm building a CRM system for my business; first time it took about 2 weeks to get a working prototype. V4 from scratch took about 5 hours.
AI is also excellent at reverse engineering specs from existing code, so you can also ask it to reflect simple iterative changes to the code back into the spec, and use that to guide further development. That doesn't have much of an equivalent in the old Waterfall.
replyare you intentionally being vague here becuase it's a HN comment and you can't be arsed going into detail?
replyor do you literally type
> Look at the git repo that took us 2 weeks, re-do it in another fresh repo... do better this time.
I think you don't and that your response is intentional misdirection to pointlessly argue against the planning artifact approach.
