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.
