Ship fast, think later | <shortdiv />
I started freelancing this year. This has meant jumping between unfamiliar codebases and getting productive as quickly as possible. A year ago this process entailed scouring through READMEs and directly pairing with a more veteran engineer to further familiarize myself with the codebase. Today, the process couldn’t be more different. I prompt an agent to walk me through general architecture, set up my local build environments and I’m often opening a PR within the first few hours of work.
