After I read the article from Stop Chatting with AI. Start Loops (Ralph Driven Development) from Luke Parker. I have tried the Ralph Driven Development. That is mind-changing. In the past, I have used AI coding before, which is more like programming by chatting. But Ralph Driven Development is to loop the specification, executing the plan item by item. Then the AI agent will build the application without any human interaction. What I need to do is write the plan in very detailed steps, like “Creating User Management Page with CRUD functions, the edit window needs to be a modal window”. I need to write in very detail, like to teach 3 years old child. At the end, I built my home intranet. It has a to-do list and shopping list management. Moreover, I have hooked up with ollama. I can use the chat to access my to-do and shopping items. Of course, it has a full of bugs. I still need to test and debug (although in the plan, I told it to test it).

Luke used OpenCode. For myself, I used kimi, that is relatively lower cost than Claude Code.

My command is

while ($true) { kimi -p "READ all of plan.md Pick ONE task per timesso Verify via web/code search. Complete task, verify via CLI/Test output. Commit change. ONLY do one task. Update plan.md. If you learn a critical operational detail (e.g. how to build), update AGENTS.md. If all tasks done, sleep 5s and exit. NEVER GIT PUSH. ONLY COMMIT." --yes }

That is working well, but it burned the quote very quick
