Everyone is a Product engineer now

😭 Everything is AI generated now a days, but this blog is not because I am sharing my observations about what is happening in the industry.

😎 With each new day passing we are seeing new and new AI tools and people are trying every new tool in the hope that this tool will finally fix their life.

😭 But after they try they come to know that they still can't earn without work.

🤪 Personally, people after trying GPT, Claude, Grok they know exactly which agent is for what task.

someone is good at coding
someone at rage baiting on X
someone at reasoning

👉 But all of them are missing to capture user's intent. That's when i came across Spec Drive Development (SDD) which made me a product engineer from a software developer.

Now, i hardly write any code, but always explaining my intent to these AI tools. But it is working honestly.

I am using http://traycer.ai/ from past few months and now i do write prompt it does:-

generate specs
generate phases
verifies each step
gives me wireframes to visualise before writing any code
biggest part is i am spending lot less to get far good results on large codebases as compared to using one model on the entire code like claude or grok

Traycer is an orchestration of agents, sub-agents that does my work. The only thing is i have to think about my intent and requirements.

🔥 I am using its YOLO mode, sometimes phase breakdown and wireframes are cherry on the top.

😏 Now everytime i have to think what to fix, build and ship. I have to think what and why instead of how. I mean i used to think how when using claude code, cursor because they drift too much when your code grows.

For example:-

claude code goes to walk after compaction
grok is still trying to do rage bait on X
GPT generates too much code that it doesn't understand after a point of time

These folks are good when handled carefully by a parent like Traycer.

See traycer in action:-

I can clearly see the user flows through sequence diagrams, flow charts
I can see wireframes/UI before even code generation has started
My intent is separated into smaller tickets that i can edit
Then i can choose my children to do the work (claude, grok, gpt) and verify at the completion of each phase

So far, I am loving this product. and paying too less i think sometimes.
