This list also makes zero sense. It says to gather missing information after gathering all known information but before defining a problem. How could you even know what information is missing, much less information that is important, without knowing the problem? And if you're to gather missing information, that you somehow know about, doesn't that make it part of gathering known information? The rest of the list is just as dumb. This list is like a middle schooler was asked to come up with a problem solving framework. This guy is usually all over threads in which he gets to show off his internal knowledge of Claude Code. I'm sure he'll be here after getting clowned. The entire Bay Area seems like the most insufferable people known to man. These people have zero introspection.

> It says to gather missing information after gathering all known information but before defining a problem. How could you even know what information is missing, much less information that is important, without knowing the problem? The post’s description of these steps is reasonable IMO. I’d write it as “put in order the relevant information you have” and “find the information which you know you need but don’t have at hand”. By way of bad analogy, one could imagine writing up a document first off the top of your head, then filling in more of the document based on the documentation of the relevant systems, corresponding to these two steps the author describes.

  Eh, the list and post is not really worth debating. Even the ideas of problems, solutions, and goals are conflated. This has just not been thought about deeply enough by the author to be thought deeply about by others. It's typical Silicon Valley pablum.

I'm still thinking about your first para. But in the second para, did you actually mean he'll be cloned?
