Finally, the journey is retraceable, forkable, and reroutable. You append only, and you do not delete decisions that led to unwanted outcomes. You go back to the first node that lets you try a new line of reasoning and resume. This allows any future naive AI entering a workflow to reconstruct WHY things are the way they are, and to make good decisions around what has not worked before. This lets AI move fast and break things.
100%. The fix is making a workshop where you and AI can walk in at any moment, turn the lights on and get to work, and that updates itself when decisions get made.
I came to this from a completely non-dev way of working (Softwareless Thinking) and got to the same spot. It's underutilizing AI when you treat it like a JARVIS butler you micromanage — run it like NASA. You're the Flight Director and the AI helps you build and run a full Mission Control.
Being able to converse and make decisions over many agent sessions becomes more powerful than prompt perfection, and setup stops being a doc you maintain and becomes a workshop where the work actually happens.
