So much of this resonated with me, and I realize I’ve arrived at a few of the techniques myself (and with my team) over the last several months.

THIS FRIGHTENS ME. Many of us sweng are either going be FIRE millionaires, or living under a bridge, in two years.

I’ve spent this week performing SemPort; found a ts app that does a needed thing, and was able to use a long chain of prompts to get it completely reimplemented in our stack, using Gene Transfer to ensure it uses some existing libraries and concrete techniques present in our existing apps.

Now not only do I have an idiomatic Python port, which I can drop right into our stack, but I have an extremely detailed features/requirements statement for the origin typescript app along with the prompts for generating it. I can use this to continuously track this other product as it improves. I also have the “instructions infrastructure” to direct an agent to align new code to our stack. Two reusable skills, a new product, and it took a week.

Sorry if rude but truly feel like I am missing the joke. This is just LinkedIn copypasta or something right?

My post? Shiiiii if that’s how it comes across I may delete it. I haven’t logged into LI since our last corp reorg, it was a cesspool even then. Self promotion just ain’t my bag

I was just trying to share the same patterns from OPs documentation that I found valuable within the context of agentic development; seeing them take this so far is was scares me, because they are right that I could wire an agent to do this autonomously and probably get the same outcomes, scaled.

Please let’s not call ourselves “swengs”

Is it really that hard to write “developer” or “engineer”?

Amusingly I use that term that to avoid the “not an engineer” and “I don’t make websites” comments. But noted, Tu.
