Huzzah ← Home August 2026 Huzzah A new experimental way to code with AI If you’re a software engineer like me, the first few months of 2026 were incredible. There was real tedium in that practice that I’d prefer to avoid for…well, the rest of my life. And yet, I sense that I need to have better insight and control over what my code is doing. I want to know that my output is high quality, reliable software. So I’m trying to find a way to have my cake and eat it too. My problem with coding agents is that There’s no reliable record of human intent. Prompts are discarded, and the code may or may not have been generated by AI. AI chats are imperative, step-by-step instructions that describe changes to the application, not the application itself. This means instructions are often repeated, and thus consume tokens, many times over the course of development. The average sentence is scarce in real information. Writing in this manner, to a machine, is cumbersome. With coding agents, prompts are (a) longform, (b) imperative, and (c) transient. Introducing it on Hacker News, the author wrote: "write pseudocode in whatever way makes the most sense to you 2. the pseudocode is persisted alongside the generated code, making your prompt effectively a stored record of intent. It may not work for every use case, but in my initial playthroughs I've found it very enjoyable."
