LLM-assisted development really is like Literate Programming. I haven't used LP in a while, but I wonder how useful that workflow would be now. Almost like the reverse of LP, lots of agent work punctuated with smaller bursts of human-created text.

Yep. But I wouldn't say "the reverse", you were always supposed to document first, or write code and comments simultaneously while weaving them together.
