Shipping 100x more features per day?
- stavros 3mo agoYes.
- Avicebron 3mo agoDo you have specifics? It would be interesting to see what kind of improvements are possible.
- stavros 3mo agoI just see in my usage that I can release tens of features a day, whereas I'd be able to release one or two a day usually. I don't know if it's 100x, but it's definitely more than 10x. I've written up my process here: https://www.stavros.io/posts/how-i-write-software-with-llms/ https://www.stavros.io/posts/how-i-write-software-with-llms/ The biggest thing to get right is to let the LLMs do what they're great at (code implementation from very detailed specs, and code review), and you do what humans are great (architecture and making sure the high level of the implementation is sane). That way, you get the best of both worlds, and a lot of speed at high quality.
- wasabi991011 3mo agoThanks for the detailed explanation of your process, I think I'll try it out.
- what 3mo agoCan you show us the 10s of features you’re releasing daily now?
- stavros 3mo agoI made this in two days: https://www.writelucid.cc/ https://www.writelucid.cc/
- sph 3mo agoDoes this speed of development only apply to the early stages, or will it slow down as the codebase grows? I have yet to see these 100x improvements (and the claims themselves keep getting bigger) on anything more than prototype scale, rather than month-long projects. No doubt AI boosters will claim we have found an O(1) productivity enhancer that is somehow two orders of magnitude better than anything else before. This is entering lunacy territory.
- stavros 3mo agoTo me, it applies as long as you can keep the state of the system in your head (so, same as we always did architecture). For example, I built this over a month or so and never hit a slowdown or quality issue: https://github.com/skorokithakis/stavrobot https://github.com/skorokithakis/stavrobot
- what 3mo agoAnd it shows!
