> I have never heard anybody successfully using LLMs say this before. Most of what I've learned from talking to people about their workflows is counterintuitive and subtle.

Because for all our posturing about being skeptical and data driven we all believe in magic.

Those "counterintuitive non-trivial workflows"? They work about as well as just prompting "implement X" with no rules, agents.md, careful lists etc.

Because 1) literally no one actually measures whether magical incarnations work and 2) it's impossible to make such measurements due to non-determinism
