> and I want a 3mm hole in one side of the plate. No the other side. No, not like that, at the bottom. Now make it 10mm from the other hole. No the other hole. No, up not sideways.

One thing that is interesting here is you can read faster than TTS to absorb info. But you can speak much faster than you can type. So is it all that typing that's the problem or could be just an interface problem? and in your example, you could also just draw with your hand(wrist sensor) + talk.

As I've been using agents to code this way. Its way faster.

Feels a bit like being on a call with someone at the hardware store, about something that you both don't know the name for. Maybe the person on the other end is confused, or maybe you aren't describing it all that well. Isn't it easier to take a picture of the thing or just take the thing itself and show it to someone who works there? Harder again to do that when the thing you want isn't sold at the store, which is probably why you're modeling it in the first place.

Most of the mechanical people I've met are good at talking with their hands. "take this thing like this, turn it like that, mount it like this, drill a hole here, look down there" and so on. We still don't have a good analog for this in computers. VR is the closest we have and it's still leagues behind the Human Hand mk. 1. Video is good too, but you have to put in a bit more attention to camerawork and lighting than taking a selfie.

And I can think faster than I can speak, which means it's easier for me to think about what I need to do and then do it, rather than type or speak to an LLM so they can work out what I need to do instead
