Hypervelocity Engineering: The End of Slow Dev
summary
Claim is concrete: a full vertical feature (React Native front end, Azure Function backend, Cosmos DB, Microsoft auth, Azure OpenAI) goes from nothing to working in about two hours where it normally takes a sprint. Engineering practices are specific: two-phase prompting, instruction files, coding standards, automated tests, static analysis, and feedback loops. Surprising number: first vertical slice 7262 finishes in two hours; next expected to be ~one hour. A product gogglowup.com is pre-launching, and the built feature mostly works after iterative fixes.
