Vibing is too shallow, while specs are too complicated or cognitive-expensive. So I got the new batteries-included approach that behaves like human programmers do. It uses ast analysis
You need appropriate CLI tools which are mainly written in Rust.
lsd | ast-grep | ripgrep | fd | bat | tokei | jj
Which can be installed with `cargo install`, with CPU-specific hard optimizations.
- Linux/macOS with cargo ``` export RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native -C opt-level=3 -C codegen-units=1 -C strip=symbols"
cargo install lsd cargo install ast-grep cargo install ripgrep cargo install fd-find cargo install --locked bat cargo install git-delta cargo install tokei cargo install --locked --bin jj jj-cli ```
- Windows Install (run inside the PowerShell) ``` $env:RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native -C opt-level=3 -C codegen-units=1 -C strip=symbols -C link-arg=/LTCG -C link-arg=/OPT:REF"
cargo install lsd cargo install ast-grep cargo install ripgrep cargo install fd-find cargo install --locked bat cargo install git-delta cargo install tokei cargo install --locked --bin jj jj-cli ```
You can install each pre-configured sets by my own hands for the famous CLI code tools. Either mannually(copy&paste to according internal config[~/.{name}] folders) or with automatic plugins/extensions approach.

The author is introducing a new AI-assisted coding paradigm called 'Outline Driven Development', but the post lacks details and hasn't generated any discussion yet.
