lucasmeijer's workflow: handwrite the doc yourself, then have the agent challenge your understanding
lucasmeijer · x · 2026-09-11
lucasmeijer shares his workflow for big chunks of work: write a doc by hand that the agent may not touch, capturing your understanding and desired end state, then repeatedly ask the agent to read it and correct your understanding or surface disagreements. His rationale: typing it yourself forces real thinking instead of scanning markdown flying by.
