I feel ai is here as a ".1x engineer" who does a years work of 
.1x work over night

The goal will be to control it and to get objective 
measurements(such as the compiler) running as much as possible as 
you leave it to do a long todo list over a week end

I tried 3ish approaches to implement usv(dont use it, every line 
of code is ai slop still) the best by far was "spec-driven 
development", or more cynically ranting in md docs and telling 
the ai to read and reread them or directing it to use a doc 
section while writting a test.

You let the ai hallucinate its on an agile team and your its 
boss, and lots and lots of unit tests. I believe this gets you 
the best results.

I want unix file permission management so I can mark human docs 
as read only, and so the ai knows which files were its. I want 
folder watchers that will auto run tests and tell me when a test 
got short(implying the ai deleted something) or started to fail 
cause the ai didn't bother to run it.

It should produce OK results if you give it an abstract idea about how things work and the problem is small in scope. Text files with simple pseudo code and comments are a good idea. Making it work with a specific project and language is a waste of time IMO. I'm not really the target user for anyway, so yeah. Btw, I see an open issue on your project. You should probably fix it smh smh
