Malcolm Bastien Flow Focused 🌊

Building Team Flow Mapping

  • AI Tools
    • Zed
      • manually edit code
      • see code changes made by the AI
      • manage git
    • Google Firebase
    • Opencode
      • “Build” vs “Plan” modes. It’s nice not having to always prompt models “answer my question without making any code changes”
    • Taskmaster
  • The process
    • Prototyping with Google Firebase Studio
    • Moving to local development
  • Techniques
    • Occasionally asking: “What should we do next?”
    • I never got into using any special techniques of any sort.
      • Thing like agents, skills
      • I just worked one feature or bug at a time, describing what I wanted the AI to do and iterating or manually editing the code until things worked how I wanted.
  • Lessons I Learned
    • I was able to add a working prototype of new features with a single prompt, so the question each time became should I?
    • Playwright is really cool to automating end-to-end tests
