Hi, your comment motivated me to try it out on my project. I'm looking for some advice.

I had a 2000 line specification, but no code yet. Based on lat.md, I have split the specification into 25 different files in the lat.md folder (not sure if that's too many).

My next task is to create a staged implementation plan, but I'm not sure how lat.md can help me (or is it even designed to?). Should the implementation plan stages also be separate markdown files in the lat.md folder? Or a sub folder? (Does it matter).

My understanding is that lat will help create a knowledge graph between the specification files the implementation files, and the code.

I am building a Pump.Fun/Solana trading bot for ultra-shit coins... because I have identified a edge that lets me exploit the 'bonding curve' in Pump. I've "won" using this strategy manually, now I want to automate it. I am also this an example for learning spec-driven development (i.e. iterate the spec in Claude Code, using adversarial models).

My challenges are: The Spec has ballooned to 2.5k lines, and I dont know how to "split" it up for coding/implementation.

These guys didn't do their homework correctly. Keeping aside commercial vendors; their own garage setup for doomed to fail with their coverage (or lack thereof). Garbage in, garbage out.

The fugitive is the leader of the Khalistan-independance movement, eventho the majority lies in Pakistan. Yet, they want to secede from India. There are numerous reports he's terrorist being financed by Pakistan. I hope India adopts doesn't go easy on these terrorists.

While we are at it, a small shout-out to PDF X-Change Viewer/Editor. Best part for me is that it works on Linux (via Wine) and Windows.

Didn't think I'd see EJ mentioned here. I distinctly recall planning and reading raiding strategies in there fur hours. I think there largest Onyxia thread was started by me. Glorious times.

I saw the video the day it came out. Its an OK video, but I question the timing in wake of the upcoming elections and Modi leading the G20. Typically I don't call out "ejection e manipulation" or "external interference", but I'm increasingly starting to suspect the intentions of the BBC (and other media)

The metrics you mention are not poor, but our data is poor. Furthermore, numerous research shows HDI and GDP are flawed (but legacy) metrics - this is exasperated by the poor quality data available in a chaotic country like India

There is a sampling bias at play right here in HN with the Modi-bashing comments. Indians, and India, is doing great overall. Modi's leadership has played a big role in this. Indians are (generally) emotionally people, and by no means is it an authoritarian state. In fact, we need wise leaders with vision to manage this population.

I am not joining this pity-party.

Companies hire tech workers to stifle their competition; whilst keeping their workers 'sedated' on fake projects (i.e. projects that are paraded as important, but the 'inner-circle' knows well its just to keep the nerds happy). During tough times, its not unreasonable for a company to trim their fat. Personally, tech and academia has been bloated for over a decade now. So no foul here.
