The approach described resonates well with my (limited) experience using tools like Cursor/Cline and Aider, thanks for writing this up.
It feels more like the waterfall-style method and it takes time to get used to it after years of test-driven/agile development.
I like the arts metaphor and enjoy the writing style. Understanding
"AI" as a component in an ecosystem of materials, tools, techniques,
plans, abandoned attempts and final products is helpful.
