Scrum master runs 3-month solo project without reading code, relying on LLM specs
A scrum master spent three months developing a solo project without ever reading the code, using LLM-generated specs as the sole source of truth. The system stores tickets as YAML frontmatter in spec files, with status as a field rather than a location. The approach, published as "backlog-as-data," relies on process and tests to ensure quality instead of human code review.
Meridian48 take
This is an extreme experiment in LLM-driven development, but its reliance on rigorous spec-writing and automated testing may not scale to complex, multi-developer projects.
