Harper Reed, My LLM codegen workflow atm:
If you have a small or large project that you are procrastinating on, I would recommend giving it a shot. You will be surprised how far you can get in a short amount of time.
My hack to-do list is empty because I built everything. I keep thinking of new things and knocking them out while watching a movie or something.
The workflow includes: prompts for generating product requirements, technical specifications, project plans. It recommended tools for implementing those ideas into new and existing projects. CLI-friendly throughout, no need to change workflows to an AI-infused flavor-of-the-month. And, there are caveats for skeptics. It’s not a “everything is shiny and free from surprising consequences” sort of piece.
As if you haven’t heard it enough lately: it is, earnestly, mind blowing that we can go from a few sentences describing an idea to a working prototype in a few hours of supervising an LLM. Inevitably, we’ll learn about shortcomings, scaling problems, and pitfalls in the coming years. As ever! But, the cost function for software is going to change a lot in the coming years and, if we play our cards right, it will be a fun ride.
