I like the approach outlined in the article. These days having a roadmap for yourself while cruising at highway speeds helps make sense of the chaos.

One big pain point that has existed forever and has never really been addresses adequately is the ability to come up with requirements.

Sure, it sounds easy, I need the app to do x, y and z. But requirements change in real time because of lack of foresight, change of business needs, an unexpected roadblock and more contribute to changing requirements.

So, the advice to come up with the requirements by yourself or with the LLM miss the biggest pain point.

I'd like to see a resurgence of flow charts, IPO (Input, Processing and Output) charts and other tools to organize requirements spring up to help with really nailing down requirements.

I will say, though, some of the pain is relieved because the agent can perform a huge refactor in a couple of minutes, but that opens a whole new can of worms.
