I don't know if I’m overly critical but there’s gotta be a middle ground between totally AI pilled people that otherwise have no talents, and control freak veteran developers who cant let go
My current process is also using Github projects in a normal scrum style way, with many tickets written or fleshed out and state managed by the LLM, and it doubling as the memory system
Completely leapfrogging all these other open and closed source concoctions and being more effective
But its effective enough that I don’t need OP’s final form state of still approving everything
Auto-mode is fine. Worktrees are built into Claude Code now. I just tell it to classify tickets as sequential or parallel possible and spawn subagents to tackle all of the tickets in the todo list
They all get their own context window its pretty perfect now
in the meantime I work in a couple tabs of Claude Design for different flows of any client side app. My philosophy has been that devs could pick up graphic and UI/UX design easily, its just still a full time job to make variations of layouts and portray their states.
UI/UX is not a full time job anymore.
And I use Claude chat to flesh out aspects of the overall idea
I think you may be overcomplicating your workflow in the concluding state.
Overall I agree that planning and intention is now most of the time, before a 10 subagent precision strike is initiated
I just do turn based development with Cline. I design my UIs in the browser first then let something like Claude wire it up, correcting it as I go. Way faster than before, easy to correct mistakes, doesn't require self-sacrifice or submission.
I shudder when I hear about some people's (wildly overcomplicated) setups. I get the allure but there's something nice about pair programming with an LLM in a singular chat.
There are tons of people, those are just not as vocal.
Could be (the overcomplicating part), I'm just not yet comfortable loosing the mental model of the final application. At least not in all types of tickets. Are you not seeing that?..
I focus on one side project at a time, alongside work applications
Both are giving me skillsets to excel in the other domain
I watch the subagents, push back on some choices, look at commits and glance at pull requests
> control freak veteran developers who cant let go
It is not control freak behavior to want to be in control when you are the one accountable for it if it breaks.
All these people saying UI/UX is dead, then I see their designs and they're absolutely the worst (but they're always swearing by how incredible it is).
Sorry access to an LLM (even if it could center a div reliably and make a responsive designs, it can't) does not give you taste, intuition or make you good at building user interfaces. You people/sloppers have no idea the amount of sweat that gets poured into great UX.
Its insulting when you people say these things and Im not even a designer or frontend dev.
I actually think UI/UX designers and devs will be the last to fall. I will want beautiful products that were built by beautiful minds, thats how you will set yourself apart from the slop. And fortunately it will be even easier when 80% of everything is half assed cranked out UI by llm design tools. The contrast is already glaring.
as an aside, i do find it interesting how people around me are more reluctant to have an ai design the look of an app vs a human, yet having an ai design the more important parts (how it works) is totally fine to them...
i could say the same about code though... why is ui/ux some sacred cow but code isn't? its just as important no?
playing devils advocate, but again, why is code any different?
Its not, I dont think LLMs should be writing code for anything important.
UI/UX or dev isn't dead.
It will be shrinking. Less grunt work.
Internal projects can get done with less of either.
Nobody really cares about great UX or about how great someone can implement a CRUD app.
So there will be less need/fighting over such resources.
If I can just generate a usable UI for a hobby project I don't need to find some company to build it out. Sure, it will miss out on a lot of stuff but it's a trade off.
If someone else can build a product and needed a basic web shop / crud app, they don't need to find someone to implement that at a massive overcharge.
I’ve seen that slop but
Claude Design has barely been out for a month
And it’s fulfilled my needs better than v0, lovable, playwright via LLM or just iterating in the coding LLM. I’ve worked with graphic designers my whole career and have also contracted design agencies to do style guides and collaborate on branding and layouts. I’ve gotten the output that I’m looking for with Claude Design
eventually you’ll see examples but its not in my purview to publicly link any of my projects as being vibe coded
Lmao claude design sucks ass. You have low standards.
