Re: AI and my projects

Post by whomper »

I too consider AI as a tool that should be leveraged to support oneself versus a thing to flag and tag against.

I am currently working on many ST applications mainly due to lack of support for how I wish to work on my Falcon, basically like my MAC. As a developer of many years, the one platform I didn't program on was the Atari ST one. However, I know what I want.

Hence why I have created a small army of Claude Code agents that are my development department. I function as the CEO and CPO (Chief Product Office ) :-) and have created a specific Claude agent that is my dev manager, I call it the Hub.

I give it requirements and it defines coding standards, owns shared code across all applications, runs final testing and matrix configuration testing prior to going live, checks readme files etc.
Each session owns their application code and are expert in that domain; FTP, Web, Mail, Media etc.

I sometime work with individual agents to drive requirements and iterate on their applications, and sometime with the Hub to iterate on the entire software portfolio, I call it AERA. Just recently I asked it to analyze discrepancies between the various applications, it worked with all sessions, built me a result document and we both walked item by item to decide how to resolve.

It allowed me in a span of 3 weeks to create 13 full fledged applications, 10 for ST, 2 for XL and 1 network gateway on a Pi. Application are coded mainly in C and Assembly and often employ the Falcon DSP for things like encryption, image and sound decoding etc.

The applications are modern, connect with cloud services, activated one another as needed, have modern features and support edge cases.

it does however create a lot of mental strain; imaging 10 agents reporting progress plus the Hub all happening in parallel as I work on all applications at the same time. I have asked the Hub to push some to maintenance mode, meaning just defects.

If you want to try some of them, head on to AERA Software
There is no way I would have created all of this without AI.
