Spec features with AI and hand off to coding agent

Author discusses a spec with an AI agent or ChatGPT, then hands it to an agent to code, and tests the outcome instead of reading every line.

What They Did

The author first talks through a feature with an AI agent or ChatGPT to produce a thorough spec. That spec then goes to a coding agent, which writes the code. The author doesn't read every line of the output; instead they test the result thoroughly themselves.

How It Went

The author says they ship better-quality applications much faster, and that the AI handles edge cases and best practices they might have missed. Bugs that remain, like unexpected data, are ones they'd have written too.

Worth Knowing

Since review happens through testing rather than reading code, the quality of your tests, especially with unexpected input data, decides whether bugs get caught.
