Anders Ericsson argued that high-touch mastery - elite human capabilities - takes on the order of 10k hours of focused development.

I personally started adopting LLMs into my workflow with Sonnet 3.5, which was released June of 2024. Sonnet 3.6 was released in October of the same year

Try as I might, I couldn't plug 625 hours per week of deliberate practice in that window. I never achieved Sonnet 3.5 mastery.

There has a steady stream of blog content on the "How I program with LLMs (in MM/YY)" over the past couple of years that I've found pretty useful.

I'm sure there are many obscure and interesting workflows out among the HN readership. Please share!
