💡 Key Insights​

What Worked Exceptionally Well​

  1. theia Extension Pattern

    • ReactWidget made React migration straightforward
    • DI container provides clean architecture
    • Contribution system enables proper IDE integration

  2. Multi-Provider Strategy

    • Unified interface reduces complexity
    • Local-first approach preserves privacy
    • Cloud providers optional for enhanced capability

  3. Documentation First

    • Writing docs during development caught issues early
    • ADRs provide clear decision rationale
    • Session exports ensure continuity

  4. Project Organization

    • Clean structure reduces cognitive load
    • Everything has a logical place
    • Easy for both humans and AI to navigate

Lessons Learned​

  1. Plan DI bindings upfront - Saves refactoring later
  2. Break tasks into atoms - 300+ small tasks better than 20 big ones
  3. Export session context - Critical for multi-day projects
  4. Use visual progress - Completion bars motivate work
