The Night Shift orchestrator breaks specs into PRDs, spawns drafting, reviewing, and implementing sub-agents in a quality-gated loop, committing only after tests and code reviews pass. The author emphasizes that quality remains non-negotiable and outlines how known LLM weaknesses (lack of self-reflection, training bias, sycophancy) are mitigated through externalized context, fresh review sessions, and serialized writes. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
