Toolchain

I recently took another look at how I work. The biggest change is that I now hand complete tasks to a coordinator. It organizes other agents and moves the work forward, while I gradually step away from watching every window one by one. This follows my August article on AI Native practice. I look at the verification questions Stage 7 left open, the coordination experiments I tried as I moved toward Stage 8, and the new problems I ran into when I put them to work. ...

In my 2025 year in review I wrote: code typing will become an inefficient way to do engineering, and AI Native should be the default. Saying it was easy. Once I actually had to work this way every day, the questions got concrete: AI writes code fast — but where does information come from? Who decides on the design? How is the output verified? What is a human still in charge of? After running this way for a year, my understanding has gone through several rounds of change; my focus slowly shifted from “writing code fast” to the whole chain of information, development, delivery, and toolchain. ...
