Purplestack is omakase.

LLM agents need a lot of human input to produce great products. Like channeling a huge lake's potential energy through a dam.

An immense raw power which is based on statistical averages. No "great product" can come out of averages, no matter how hard you push.

Ten million normies working together would have never come up with bitcoin or nostr.

You need VALUES.

As a product owner you need to be present in many of the checkpoints in the lifecycle, precisely to communicate those values.

Having a great first prompt is a start, but in no way that will cover the ongoing demand for values input.

If you were ever involved in the development of a complex software project you would know that biggest bottlenecks are values-based decisions (a reason for Agile's popularity)

Short of a machine freely accessing your brain and spirit, there is no way around it.

I did not just vibe a context file and called it #purplestack

It's the culmination of half a year of hard work. A distilled, highly concentrated form of value input. MY VALUES. My strongly opinionated libraries, frameworks, tools and ways of doing things – the foundations I built by hand.

An anti-average force – on which *you* should keep inputting *your* values of what a great product should be.
