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.
