This has been on my mind a lot lately as well. Basically with the metaphor that Gastown is a software factory, I’m trying to figure out how do I turn myself into a Spec creating/reviewing "machine". A couple of thoughts related to that:

- The linear nature of prior work meant that the context of all the planning and implementing steps before were fresh in your mind when you were reviewing. Parallel work makes this more challenging.

- Most people are not spending a lot of time reviewing their specs today. This is likely also due to how quickly they are created - if something only took 5 mins to create, it seems disproportionate to spend an hour reviewing it. But I can’t help but feel like we should be spending more time reviewing and uncovering at least the known unknowns + the “unknown knowns” (context I already had that would’ve helped the agent in implementation if I had only provided it upfront).

It's interesting that when you watch agents work, the longest part is not doing the task - it's gathering all the relevant context.

They really embody the Einstein "If I had an hour to solve a problem, I'd spend 55 mins thinking about the problem and 5 mins thinking about the solution" philosophy.

Thank you so much for writing this, it's insanely useful.

I don't know how to quite feel about the fact that tools like variant are standing on the shoulders of all the amazing designers who have shared their work previously. BUT it's a huge level up for folks like me. Hopefully they figure out a way to give credit to those contributing styles.
