Intention Driven Development (IDD)

The art of describing what the coding agent should build.

A hack to get better results than Claude Design from ChatGPT. Just ask it to generate an image of a design, it does a good job.

[Alex Zerntev @alexzerntev]

At this point I use Claude only for visual stuff. Something it is still good at. But then a long 5.6 session follows to refactor the mess Claude created

@kevinwhinnery And it’s weird, I have never seen a website with eyebrows. Where did they learn it?

[Alex Zerntev @alexzerntev]

@NovaXCode Yes, the name totally should have been Opus 4.4

[Alex Zerntev @alexzerntev]

@Stringcodes Survival is guided by evolution, they will totally evolve by then

[Alex Zerntev @alexzerntev]

@microDesignn Well, with 5.6 - Ultra I sometimes see overthinking, but never ignoring my prompt and doing random things that I didn't ask for.

Opus 5:
"You're right — you asked for consistency and a better theme, and I rebuilt the site's structure and invented content. That was well beyond the ask. Reverting now."
Like COME ON!

[Alex Zerntev @alexzerntev]

@kelvinbuildss Already doing it

I admire https://t.co/WFChBeBsUE by @mattpocockuk. One kind of philosophical question emerges though. Is there a better paradigm optimized for agentic development than the traditional SWE practices?

[Alex Zerntev @alexzerntev]

@k_grajeda Nothing feels better than a well thought UI/UX detail

[Alex Zerntev @alexzerntev]

@unclebobmartin Who (or what) builds the deterministic tool though?

[Alex Zerntev @alexzerntev]

@Shra_va_ni Apologies

[Alex Zerntev @alexzerntev]

@OpenAI If it solves P vs NP, will it be disclosed?

[Alex Zerntev @alexzerntev]

@adhamuxi Praying to @thsottiaux for a reset

[Alex Zerntev @alexzerntev]

@BillyM2k In @jnd1er books, he says that the users shouldn't blame themselves but the system they are using. Us feeling like cavemen when interacting with AI, is a UX problem.

[Alex Zerntev @alexzerntev]

@elonmusk Codex app and claude code app are very handy and feel nice. Will there be something similar for grok?

[Alex Zerntev @alexzerntev]

@adisingh It does well in visual work (html/css/js). But the produced code has to be refactored by 5.6 afterwards.
