Superlinear Episode Details the Fall 2026 Workflow for Starting Projects with Coding Agents

Developer bkase shares his default stack for nearly every project — TypeScript, EffectTS, Bun, Alchemy, React+Vite — and walks through his full agent-driven project kickoff workflow in an extra-long Superlinear episode. The thesis for 2026: less harness engineering, less process, less prescribing; instead, deliberate steering on the few decisions that compound across the whole project, with GPT-6 Astra and Fable 5.1 handling most execution. The episode includes the '@mattpocock Grill with Docs' interview workflow for pinning down product, stack, architecture and testing, plus a real case study: running Pokémon Puzzle League natively online in the browser. Key topics include what judgment to keep human, what to delegate to the model, and how to plan verification so agents can detect mistakes and keep building autonomously.
