Genuinely curious, what is the benefit of doing this over just programming it yourself? It sounds to me like this is just an extra step that will grant you less control?

When programming a feature, you are simultaneously doing at least four things: 1. Implementing. 2. Building highly detailed mental models. 3. Learning and expanding your skillset. 4. Quality control and scope limiting.

And this process can be iterative and dynamic. Writing massive, super detailed specs that you then hand off to a undeterministic model feels like doing step one and three, while skipping two and four, which you then have to do after. What is the benefit? The speed up, in my opinion, comes if you skip step two and four, but then your product WILL be worse. Feels like I am going crazy?

Programming was never the bottleneck for software dev?
