Most teams focus on code quality when introducing AI agents.

That’s not the real bottleneck.

The real problem is permanence.

@thorstenball Clear naming 😂

@matryer What does your workflow look like when building a new feature or debugging an issue?
How do you structure prompts, and do you maintain specs in your repo if so, what do they look like?

Yo @davehappyminion! Turn me into a Minion! 💛

@thorstenball Would love to know how you organize an avg day like... It feels like you have more time per day than the rest of us, I for one would benefit from knowing how to learn from your routine and thinking process

Been waiting for Wispr Flow on Android? Win stuff on this 🎰 waitlist: https://t.co/Y9XT4ekcCk

Shipped a tiny offline word party game on Android 🎉

No accounts, no ads just pass-and-play.
Mostly testing if the core idea is fun.

If you enjoy word games, feedback welcome.

If an agent can’t navigate a repo, understand what “done” means, or converge without constant correction, that’s not an agent failure.
It’s a repository and context design problem.
This is why teams are moving toward specification-driven development

[Rakesh Mothukuri @rockey5520]

With more AI agents writing and modifying code, a pattern is becoming obvious.
Many “execution problems” only exist because repositories are designed for humans to supply context, explain intent, and redirect work mid-flight.

[Rakesh Mothukuri @rockey5520]

Agent work needs to be disposable by default:
– cheap to create
– cheap to discard
– impossible to accidentally trust

Question for you:
If you had to spec ONE feature next sprint
👉 Which one would save your team the most rework?

The hardest part of building software in the AI era isn’t only coding.
It’s alignment.
Code is relatively easy.
Agreeing on what the code should mean is hard.
That’s why I’ve shifted to Spec-Driven Development (SDD). 🧵

@thorstenball Recipe turned out very well at the end https://t.co/is1nEvryel

🌀 noise. 🔥 fire. 🎶 tones.
Inspired by a prompt in @thorstenball’s newsletter, I built a terminal synth that animates ASCII, shifts color palettes, and plays real-time sound.
