An AI-Powered Development Workflow for Solo Builders
SMRTR summary
The digital graveyard of unfinished side projects haunts countless developers, but one seasoned coder has found a way to revive those dreams using AI orchestration.
"The fundamental challenge isn't technical complexity, it's cognitive overhead," explains the developer who's cracked the code on solo project management. Constantly switching between product manager, designer, developer, and QA tester roles fragments attention and kills momentum.
Instead of drowning in code, this workflow prioritizes task management through Linear, an intuitive project management tool with AI connectivity. The developer spends most of their time defining stories at a high level, then delegates refinement to AI agents that add implementation details.
Meanwhile, remote AI agents generate code asynchronously in the cloud. They automatically pick up refined stories, complete them, and submit pull requests for human review.
This approach maintains project context across scattered work sessions while Convex serves as an AI-optimized backend, allowing agents to interact directly with the database.
The result? A rejuvenated passion for coding. "This workflow has been like discovering the joy of software development for the first time," the developer reflects.
