LLM as advance team (jmduke.com)

More often than not, the branch spun up by Conductor never even makes it to GitHub, let alone the main branch. It’s purely a first draft from an overstimulated and undercompensated robotic junior colleague — but that is value additive. I couldn’t tell you what the dollar amount of that value is, but right now it’s certainly greater than zero. And the tax on my workflow is minimal at best.

Batching explorations than reviewing them with deep focus feels like a workflow that would suit my sensibilities. In an age where progress can be spun up faster than ever, it’s important to remember that sometimes progress looks like finding the path you shouldn’t take, and throwing it aside with maybe a footnote describing why it wasn’t viable.
