The discussion highlights a fascinating trend where AI-assisted development is leading programmers to rediscover traditional engineering principles, such as detailed upfront documentation and structured planning reminiscent of the Waterfall and V-models. While some view this shift as a necessary "coming of age" for AI agents that operationalizes classic problem-solving cycles like the OODA loop, others argue that describing logic in natural language can be more mentally taxing than simply entering a flow state to write code directly. Ultimately, the comments debate whether these structured workflows ensure long-term quality and research-backed solutions or if they represent a step backward from Agile’s iterative flexibility, potentially sacrificing the "lessons learned" that come from hands-on experimentation.
