Just had my first fully "spec-driven dev" experience, pretty interesting I built a little open source python lib + cli tool (will share more soon) I didn't write a single line of code. Instead I used Opus to iterate on READMEs, TESTING plans, and a few specs (describing edge

LLMs are fuzzy microprocessors for 2 years i've been thinking about this - what if we had fuzzy compilers? fuzzy MapReduce? fuzzy design systems? what if we could program in plain english? i’ll be exploring here: fuzzycomputer.com/about models are finally good enough to build
