As one often finds with “effective LLM usage” advice, all of those things would help humans on the team as well! As would other advice like keeping the architecture docs up to date, writing down important design decisions with rationale, breaking big features down into steps, etc.

Maybe one should just search for advice from the last 20 years on how to make a human development team more effective, and do that stuff.

It’s funny how this advice has always been around, but we needed to invent this new kind of idiot savant developer to get the human developers to want to do it…

Up voted it. It's very true, especially regarding docs (short, effective, with examples), proper cli commands, and... testability.
