Good read.

Specs/tests/code are all attempts to model the same outcome. We treat them as ways to avoid rewriting.

Coding agents flip that: rewriting becomes the primitive.

I’ve been running the same task through 3 very different prompts and comparing the results. It’s then less about correctness and more about mapping the solution space. That’s been an important perspective shift for me.
