AI-Augmented Software Development Manifesto We are learning better ways of developing software with AI by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value: Human agency and taste over agentic autopilot Tight human feedback loops over long unattended agent runs Reliable, tested software over abundant AI output Clear, adaptable intent over rigid specs or vibe-coding That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more. Principles Ship real software, not AI theater. LOC count, agent swarms, and token burn are not progress unless users get something reliable. Let requirements harden from evidence. Use AI to discuss, prototype, and test assumptions before locking the plan. Treat code as cheap and understanding as expensive.
