Cargo-cult a solo founder

Hot take: using pipelines of agents to write PRDs, delegating to sub-agents for architecture, and then to sub-agents for executing tasks is a waste of time and tokens. Workflows like spec-kit or the BMAD method are cargo-culting workflows of developer organization.

In organizations, procedures were created to work around the natural limitations of human abilities to execute certain tasks. Great product people are not that good at writing code, and good developers are not that good at product vision. React gurus are less efficient at writing Python, etc. So, we split the big task into smaller chunks, spending time communicating the bigger picture and how someone’s work fits into it.
