我花了80%的时间进行规划,20%的时间使用人工智能工具进行编码。
上个月我使用AI编码工具开发了三个应用程序。其中两个是盈利的(总收入120美元),一个只是为了测试某些东西。
我想验证一个理论,即将80%的时间用于规划和创建结构化文档。
painpoint.space总共花了6天。我花了5天时间在……规划上。实际上编码的时间可能只有8小时。大约一周后,我获得了第一个每月20美元的客户。
我以前总是直接跳进Cursor,开始让它构建东西。浪费了几个小时反复解释相同的背景。当它在会话之间忘记我们在构建什么时,我会感到沮丧。
因此,在打开任何IDE之前,我与Claude合作创建了上下文文档,内容包括:
- 应用程序的具体功能
- 每一个特性
- 数据库的工作方式
- 甚至是我AI助手的自定义规则
起初我觉得这像是在拖延。但当我最终开始编码时,一切都顺利进行。AI立刻理解了。没有混淆,也不需要重新解释。
为了验证这不是偶然,我尝试用仅7个提示构建legaldiff.com。不是7个会话,而是从想法到工作应用的7个总提示。之所以成功,是因为所有的上下文已经准备好了。
三个应用程序的结果:
- painpoint.space:每月40美元的经常性收入(从Reddit上寻找商业创意)
- renewpic.com:赚取130美元,注册用户超过260人
- legaldiff.com:用7个提示构建的工作MVP
这个模式是一致的。更多的前期规划 = 与AI的往返沟通大大减少。
我和我的联合创始人现在正在将其构建成一个可重复的系统(precursor.tools)。仅仅通过谈论这种方法,就有80人加入了等待名单。
我很好奇是否还有其他人也发现了这一点。规划得越好,实际上你使用这些AI工具“编码”的需求就越少。

Built three apps last month using AI coding tools. Two are profitable ($120 total revenue), one was just to test something.<p>I wanted to test the theory of dedicating 80% of my time to planning and creating structured docs<p>painpoint.space took 6 days total. I spent 5 days just... planning. Maybe 8 hours actually coding. Got my first $20/month customer about a week later.<p>I used to jump straight into Cursor and start asking it to build stuff. Waste hours explaining the same context over and over. Get frustrated when it forgets what we're building between sessions.<p>So before opening any IDE, I workshopped with Claude to create context documents on
- What exactly the app does
- Every single feature
- How the database should work
- Even custom rules for my AI assistant<p>Felt like procrastinating at first. But when I finally started coding, everything just... worked. The AI understood immediately. No confusion, no re-explaining.<p>To test this wasn't a fluke, I tried building legaldiff.com with just 7 prompts. Not 7 sessions, 7 total prompts from idea to working app. It worked because all the context was already there.<p>Results from three apps
- painpoint.space: $40/month recurring (finds business ideas from Reddit)
- renewpic.com: $130 made, 260+ users signed up
- legaldiff.com: working MVP in 7 prompts<p>The pattern is consistent. More upfront planning = way less back-and-forth with AI.<p>My co-founder and I are now building this into a repeatable system (precursor.tools). Got 80 people on the waitlist just from talking about this approach.<p>Curious if others have stumbled into this. The better your planning, the less you actually need to "code" with these AI tools.
