its funny how for stuff that its already kind of clear how it should work, you can dispatch the llm plan in like 30 seconds and it will churn away for hours and its all correct, and then there is one hairy design detail in one piece, that takes two hours of back-and-forth and head scratching

i am personally not sure if this is due to being in the "centaur period", or this is an inherent property of expression by its nature, that would happen in any process of a human trying to figure-out/express what they want

also using ux broadly here to mean "an expressive tool" not just like a layout or something

arguably, if expressivity requires real knowledge of the world and what is being expressed, then ux and mechanism are never really separable, and they only appear separable where there are actually good abstractions
