I make sketches on paper. Use case diagrams and state cycles and stuff. Really high-level. And then I type out user stories and then Gherkin scenarios.

And then I give the Gherkin to AI and have it code it and then I spend a week crawling through the code and straightening it out and torturing nostr:npub1wqfzz2p880wq0tumuae9lfwyhs8uz35xd0kr34zrvrwyh3kvrzuskcqsyn with code reviews because he's like Svelte AI. 😂

The end result, from the application logic, is very good, but the coding phase is a shitshow. Unless it's PHP. Only language I can just type out.

Most of the logic is already in the diagrams.

Hmm, I need to figure out this "user stories thing" I always sounded like crappy rationalization for things the party making the application wants and have nothing to do with the customer.

I've never actually seen a user story but from the results I imagine they go something like.

"As a user first arriving at the website, I'd like to see a bunch of platitude laden marketing gobblty-gook that is as inoffensive as possible."

Or

"As a user, I'd like a sales rep to contact me some day to determine how much I can afford to pay for whatever it is that you actually do."

It always seems that the customer stories they invented serve the interest of the business.

Here's a quite complex user story, with a second user story packed into the same ticket (naughty, but made sense, in this case). You can see the Gherkin feature, following that.
