It was generated for me in accordance with the architecture and constraints I defined for the agent; and I’ve reviewed every line.
TDD really is that good.

How many pages of architecture / constraints did you write? I guess I’m curious what type of text input renders 200K lines of code output. It must be a similar level of tokens in just docs / prompting. Have you verified all of that? Was that AI generated?
Would be very interested to see whether it’s not just… regular LLM snowballing a paragraph into 12 pages of “technical design documents” and 10K lines of code. Not sure what kind of niche you’re in or what the business logic is, but it sounds to me like you’ve built a machine that… generates code you don’t need to look at??
There was a 200 word architectur doc that lasted about 3 weeks before it drifted so it got deleted. I no longer keep architecture docs - tests and code are enough for the agent to answer questions when we have them.
Probably wrote 2000+ words of prompts per day to the agent, Monday to Friday, for like 9 months. Dozens to hundreds of prompts a day back and forth with anywhere from 1-7 concurrent agents at a time.
This is not something anyone would ever one-shot. There are thousands of commits. My commit log looks like a normal squash-merge-to-main-and-deploy workflow.
