I'm torn on this. This really is the faster way to higher quality.

OTOH, if more developers knew this, I wouldn't be so much more faster when I create my systems for clients. I'd just be a "normal 1x dev".

I like implementing features, sans AI-assistance, in my LoB applications faster than devs with Claude code doing so on their $FRAMEWORK.
