Thanks for sharing this blog post is a great speculative deep-dive.

it mentions native multimodality somewhere in either the Arxiv or post -- seems like it might handle it well?

nice! Can't agree more on Vibe Speccing.

how do you account for the success of reasoning models?

I agree these things don't think like we do, and that they have weird gaps, but to claim they can't reason at all doesn't feel grounded.

have often wanted something like "liquid types", but didn't know what it was called! Thanks for this

there is now I suppose! ;)

Yeah it isn't a panacea but it has afforded me less frustration than the alternative of jumping straight in.

Totally, I find most work I do, if I'm honest, is in this bucket. LLMs are pretty good at "filling in the gaps" between two ideas like this

I'm almost to this one in my read through! I'm excited to get to the "information age" arc

I totally agree!

this is the idea behind my recent post actually[1] where I recommend people use AI to write specs before they code. If all you have to do is a human is edit the spec, not write it from scratch, you're more likely to actually make one.

def cleanup inactive specs over time.

it's only useful if it'll be used!

Yeah just learned about this!

The md files are actually pretty great for shareability, versioning, and picking up where you left off.

I need to try Claude Code's plan mode! Definitely feels useful.

Totally. Yeah I think your approach is a solid take!

Thanks for the writeup!

I talked about a similar, but slightly simpler workflow in my post on "Vibe Specs".

https://lukebechtel.com/blog/vibe-speccing

I use these rules in all my codebases now. They essentially cause the AI to do two things differently:

(1) ask me questions first (2) Create a `spec.md` doc, before writing any code.

Seems not too dissimilar from yours, but I limit it to a single LLM

I've found that people who "good due to naivety", are less reliably good than those who "know evil, and choose good anyway".

Thanks for sharing!

Which embedding types did you try? I'm surprised that embeddings weren't able to take you further with this.
