Engineer: my real AI workflow is 10 rounds of dialogue with Claude, not agent factories
brandon_galang · x · 2026-10-20
Pushing back on the viral narratives of 'software factories' and 2000 PRs a week, Brandon Galang describes his actual week: mostly monologuing to Claude about a problem, asking it to propose solutions and break down trade-offs, clarifying context, and repeating about 10 times until the right scope emerges — only then splitting work into PRs. That conversational convergence, he argues, is the real job in the AI era, not flashy multi-agent setups.
