Orchestrating the Future: How AI has reduced my development times from months to days
I've gone from taking two months to make a test App (or not even starting it knowing I wouldn't have time) to having it ready in a matter of days. Pay attention.
I no longer program alone; now I orchestrate an ecosystem of tools with AI in parallel.
First, I talk to Gemini to discuss the idea. I ask it to question me, to make me think, to look for references, and to analyze strengths and weaknesses. It's my strategic "sparring".
Then, I open Google Stitch for the design. Meanwhile, I use Antigravity to define the roadmap with the AI, install the boilerplate, and start writing code with its agent. Before going to bed, I pass clear tasks to Google Jules (or send him the screens to implement from Stitch) and he takes care of creating the MRs during the night.
In addition, thanks to MCPs (Stitch, Context7, Firebase, Playwright, Github...), workflows, tasks, and skills... production deployments, builds, and translations have gone from being a headache to a simple guided process. No more suffering setting up a thousand things following infinite tutorials.
What has changed for me?
- Multitasking: I always have 3 or 4 processes in parallel. It's a greater mental effort, but the results are exponential.
- Goodbye micro-heart attacks: Build errors and cloud consoles no longer cause heart attacks; the AI guides me step by step.
- Speed: POCs (Proofs of Concept) that used to take me weeks are now ready to test in 48 hours.
- Entry barrier: Before I discarded ideas for lack of time; now, I simply go for it.
- Joy: In the end, the best thing is to regain the thrill of seeing how an idea becomes tangible without burning out in the process. We've all felt that paralysis of having a good idea and not knowing where to get the hours; now we have a "free" advisor for almost everything.
And now I'm just thinking: should I add Moltbot to be able to request developments in Antigravity via WhatsApp while walking the dogs? Purely for fun... and to see how far this goes.
