In a recent interview with The Pragmatic Engineer, Steve Yegge said he feels "sorry for people" who merely "use Cursor, ask it questions sometimes, review its code really carefully, and then check it in."

Instead, he recommends engineers integrate LLMs into their workflow more and more, until they are managing multiple agents at one time. The final level in his AI Coding chart reads: "Level 8: you build your own orchestrator to coordinate more agents."

At my work, this wouldn't fly-- we're still doing things the sorry way. Are you using orchestrators to manage multiple agents at work? Particularly interested in non-greenfield applications and how that's changed your SDLC.

Does your team have a spec management system you enjoy using? I've used Jira way back in the day, but I'm wondering if there's anything people are buzzing about now.

Every time I create a Linear ticket, fix a bug while writing other code, or prompt cursor, I feel like I'm touching a spec. I want to give these specs a good home so that we can use them in QA testing.
