Something interesting happens when you use your own tool to build itself. You find out very quickly what works and what doesn't. The feedback loop is immediate. If a feature feels clunky or a workflow doesn't make sense, you feel it in real time because you're living in it. We've been building BrainGrid with BrainGrid. Every feature starts as a spec. Every spec gets broken into tasks. Every task goes to Claude Code with full context. The result is that features ship faster and break less. Not because the AI is magic, but because we're feeding it clear requirements instead of vague intentions. Tyler Wells walks through the full process in this piece: how we go from half-baked idea to deployed code in under an hour using spec-driven development. If you've been wondering what the practical difference is between "just prompting" and actually planning before you build, this is worth the 15 minutes.
