I Stopped Writing Code – The 60/40 Rule for AI-Native Engineering

This is an architecture-first manifesto that treats diagrams and schemas as the true source of code and then uses LLMs to align implementations. The author backs the theory with a concrete solo-built stack (Cloudflare Workers edge, Fly.io core, LLM agents and a large AI-maintained MDX knowledge base), which makes the 60/40 rule feel actionable. Good as a strategic playbook; it needs more reusable infra templates or scripts to move from clever idea to something you'd copy into a new project.
