The tactical process of writing the code is also when you discover the errors in your design.

Like, did we think waterfall suddenly works now just because typing can be automated? No.

Who says you can't iterate on a design just because an LLM does the manual typing?

  • I meant to write “tactile”, not “tactical”, but missed it before the edit window expired.

    Anecdotally, ask people who knit whether their brain is stimulated. Physically engaging with the thing you are making is part of the process that makes it actually good.

    • Yet someone who knits can do so without spinning the yarn themselves, or shaving the sheep.
