ralph-starter vs doing it manually

I tracked one full week of development. Half the tasks with ralph-starter, half by hand. Same sprint, same project, same me, same coffee intake (a lot).

I spend more time writing specs than writing code now, and my output went up, not down. That genuinely surprised me.
Linear is where my team plans work. ralph-starter is where it gets built. I have been running this combo every single day for weeks now, and I want to show you exactly what my workflow looks like.
Every feature you build starts with a spec that already exists somewhere. GitHub issue, Linear ticket, Notion doc. It's already written. The annoying part is getting it into your AI tool without losing half of it.
