Reviewing AI coding plans is a waste of time — get 3 tested solutions instead
alex_frantic · x · 2026-09-23
Developer alexfrantic argues that reviewing AI implementation plans is obsolete: plan review made sense when planning cost far less than implementation, but with implementation nearly free, just ask the model for 3 complete, end-to-end tested solutions and iterate. If all three suck, the model was likely missing crucial context — fix the context, not the plan.
