sawyer @sawyer-p.me · 05/09/2026Building on this, programming the actual system architecture by hand I kind of feel is just as (if not way more) efficient than looping on design docs with LLMs. Really really good architecture lets you confidently delegate work to LLMs. The fundamental patterns and system design are so important. 110
sawyer @sawyer-p.me · 05/09/2026Some weird and interesting things from this week: 1. Wrote some code by hand today, did not feel weird or uncomfortable at all.
