oh yea right you discovered a secret technique to making llm outputs predictable and not probabilistic.

I have not discovered anything new. I have applied established architecture and engineering practices that I've been following for 15 years to using Claude Code.

Domain-Driven Design started with Eric Evan's "blue book" in 2003 and continued with Vaughn Vernon's "red book" a few years later. Event Storming workshops and event sourcing data storage have also emerged as important tools.

I am just a practitioner. Eric, Vaughn, Paul Reyner, Alberto Brandolini, and a few other architects lead.

My DevArch is a toolkit to follow these practices.

I encourage skeptics to look at the Sharpee repo at https://github.com/chicagodave/sharpee and specifically docs/context. Every session summary is there going back months.

That's not the point, the point is they can generate pretty good code, and do that most of the time, so ask them to generate the code, review it as you would review a more junior teammate or an opensource collaboration from an unknown source, and take advantage of their speed to test everything.

You can't make a great vibe-coded thing that you couldn't make yourself, but you can get pretty much the same code you would have made in a fraction of the time.
