VELOCITY CODING

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

This engineer has been writing 25,000 lines of code per week - 10x his previous output - since quitting his job to go all-in on AI coding. His method: spend most time writing detailed plans, then let AI implement while he reviews in real-time. No fancy automation, just extreme focus. He describes it like ego death - you stop thinking of yourself as the coder and become a "vessel" that channels prompts into existence. Everything becomes just typing, whether into Cursor, Claude, or Slack.
