I want to start writing more about how I'm using LLMs to create more leverage in my software development workflows. LLM coding agents are getting really good, but I think they still require a lot of work to not create slop in brownfield projects (see SlopCodeBench).

My opinion is that if it's important to my job or someone else's job that the answer produced by a tool is correct, then a human needs to fully understand the system they are building and working in. I don't think I'm doing anything particularly novel, but I thought it might be nice to show what I'm doing to create more leverage, go faster, and be more ambitious.
