for me, almost all of the work is specs

I am no longer:

- reading docs for hours and hours

- typing (barely at all)

- writing code

- manually doing tight debug loops

- using an IDE

to do this I had to give up reading or even controlling the code and focusing on behavior/design-level control (not superficial, still dictating overall technical architecture)

i have agents doing everything from writing the code, verifying the code, hardening, increasing test coverage, analyzing behavior, algorithmic perf improvements, managing/deploying to cloud resources, etc... (pretty much everything)

and I am accomplishing projects that would take months or years in a fraction of the time.

that's way more than 10x.

somehow, this is harder and more cognitively demanding than writing code

how do you verify the behavior? are you still writing or at least reading tests or just doing manual testing?

I discuss the testing approach and coverage with the model before and after, sometimes in a fresh thread that does a static analysis.

interestingly my input is still pretty important
