Waterfall model

And I wanna...

Like, there's a bit of sort of criticism I hear just from outside the room when you say that, which is that doesn't this sound like Waterfall, what we're doing? When I'm talking about Wayfinder, and when I'm doing any kind of like, uh, building up any kind of spec, I do a lot of upfront aggressive prototyping before we get there.

That's something that comes up again and again and again.

It's like, "This is just Waterfall.

What are we doing going back to the '70s?" But agents give you this ability of just churning out slop, right? And sometimes you can use that to your advantage because a prototype, right, just getting a sense for what it should look like, you can build out three or four different versions and just choose your favorite and iterate on it and just keep churning, churning, churning.

That can be a really powerful setup that we've not really had before, right? It was always expensive to produce prototypes.

Now it's the cheapest that it's ever been, and that's an essential part of writing specs to me, is actually producing these prototypes.

Yeah, but also like with the Waterfall criticism, I think Grady Booch might have told me this as well.
