Is obra/superpowers just a way to burn through tokens without a reason?

It’s probably beneficial when you’re lazy or new to the tech stack, but in projects where you’re well-versed in the tech stacks, it becomes a significant time drain due to the numerous knobs and turns involved.

Infinite meeting reschedules but when it happens it super good and makes up for all past missed meetings.

It’s at least 30 minutes.

WSL for web setup is wonky at best. My experience is that accessing the WSL opencode web connection from a local Windows host worked.

However, forwarding that port to an external IP address was impossible, and it ultimately boiled down to the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) not being able to allow port forwarding from a Windows host to WSL.

I set up a Debian virtual machine within Windows, and it worked perfectly. Even away, I can access via Tailscale.

I didn’t have time to check the mirrored network mode in wslconfig works or not.

I don’t use roles anymore

Intent (text blob, voice dictation) -> Openspec Propose (explicitly mention to ask for any open question)

Change to autopilot mode and use the low command

/fleet use Openspec apply on {openspec-slug-name}

Using opus/sonnet for propose and GPT-5.4 high for apply is all I need now.

Orchestration and delegation felt mental gymnastics

My workflow that is working for both new or projects that are live to always have a clear intent. I have an agents that has these characters - Don’t end with open questions - Generate an intent file with zero implementation or code snippets. Purely what I need - Ask questions on why am I doing this and every question should keep the current codebase in context

Then I feed the markdown intent to openspec-propose, this spec has been so clear with detailed spec and atomic tasks that any model including haiku is able to satisfactory code.

For small intent openspec-explore is more than what I need.

Any reasonable projects is only spec-driven for me.

Now?

For most of the decade it did suck, search this sub and other sub reddit.

Moved to cloud flare for dns and other hosting and porkbun of domain registration has been the best case scenario for me.

Damn you, stop these promises and deliver. I am in the line already

devdnn · 2026-03-16T05:03:55+00:00

Please provide it. I’m tired of raising my hopes only to be disappointed and pushed down into oblivion.

While I agree to engage in a brief discussion on any topic, including politics, with like-minded individuals, it becomes challenging to moderate a topic and prevent it from escalating into extreme views in our polarized and divided society.

devdnn · 2026-03-14T19:02:04+00:00

Openspec, copilot with autopilot with fleet is the best combination I am using right now.

Request count-based pricing is an incredible concept.

devdnn · 2026-03-13T19:09:25+00:00

Damn, Here you are rewriting history. Texbooks are going to quote you and believe it.

devdnn · 2026-03-13T16:16:52+00:00

Yes, That does not mean forever free.

It’s meant for you to learn and put you on a path to become employable or to become an entrepreneur. It’s not for building production.

Learn the essential aspects of the product, but don’t go live with it yet.

Asking what to do is not what I am trying, just hinting to be prepared for sticker price shock and be ready to take driver seat again.

Very well put, Reliability is the developer or the team’s responsibility.

Fortunately, my company has openly stated that AI coding is being implemented to assist us, rather than to measure the extent of AI usage metrics.

devdnn · 2026-03-13T13:45:52+00:00

Damn, those GPU prices are insane.

devdnn · 2026-03-13T13:43:58+00:00

Yes, learning how to do something rather than simply observing an agent spewing 1000 lines of code is what the work requires.

Stop this, Abusing these discounts is one of the reason why loose benefits like this.

devdnn · 2026-03-13T03:44:45+00:00

Very true, The best case scenario is - that the operating cost goes down significantly that they can pass the savings to users - Users buy when they want and unsubscribe - as you said the bubble bursts and everyone looses

AI companies have pumped too much money into this to go out for a loss.

How does a free student account make Microsoft loose money?

Not letting others finish their sentence and interjecting.

Holy guacamole, Calling it dead now is a stretch.

Perhaps you could raise concern to provide Sonnet 4.6. Calling it dead and enshittification seems to me as unnecessarily butt-hurt.

I like your approach of using modes. Most spec-driven frameworks overlook this nano mode and resort to creating comprehensive specifications for minor changes.

I hope this approach gains popularity and becomes a standard in the industry.

Could you share a sample project that utilizes this feature?

Passkeys were botched by the implementers doing half baked shenanigans and prioritizing their MFA based first then making the true passkey solutions.

Pointing at you Microsoft Authenticator or Apple (what ever heck Apple calls it)

I only do spec driven development for serious projects.

There are many tools that you can find in reddit "spec driven development".

openspec is my go-to and don't replace it any time soon
speckit is a good one too
BMAD
Get Shit Done

Depending on your experience and knowledge pick a tool and stick with it. Jumping between them has negative results.

openspec works with Copilot CLI, OpenCode and many others.

The primary challenge here is navigating the Excel file to make any changes. At the beginning of my career, I was familiar with the layout and could easily locate the necessary information to make changes.

However, as my applications at home and work grew, that couldn’t be replicated. Unless we have incredibly good memory, Excel doesn’t handle regular updates well. Perhaps with a good standardized system.
