I agree, but that is the crux of my initial post. There is a ceiling to how quick I can deliver using LLM coding agents which is the speed at which I can write good enough specs.

I feel I'm at the point now where the time the LLM takes to deliver a feature, no matter how big, is nearly inconsequential. Because while it is in the process of delivering the feature, I am writing the next spec, and by the time I finish the spec the agent is waiting for the next feature. And at that point I have to review it's code, give it feedback, review it's fixes, merge, etc. All of the "waiting" is on me. It is basically delivering features as fast as I can write specs and could only get faster if I write specs faster.
