165 Times a Day: Unconventional Trial and Error. The Behind-the-Scenes of 'Ultra-Fast PDCA' Development Realized Through AI Collaboration

'165 times a day, average 370 times per project.' A record of trial and error beyond human limits, realized through AI collaboration. We explain a new development methodology that maximizes the probability of innovation by bringing the cost of failure close to zero. We also introduce the automated 'development engine' mechanisms that support this speed.

165 Times a Day: Unconventional Trial and Error. The Behind-the-Scenes of 'Ultra-Fast PDCA' Development Realized Through AI Collaboration


Key Points of This Article

  • "165 times a day, average 370 times per project." A record of trial and error beyond human limits, realized through AI collaboration.
  • We explain a new development methodology that maximizes the probability of innovation by bringing the cost of failure close to zero.
  • We also introduce the automated "development engine" mechanisms that support this speed.


Introduction: The Greatest Enemy of Development is "Hesitation to Try"


Every engineer has experienced this: "I want to try this idea. But setting up the environment and testing will take time..." This temporal and psychological cost of trying things is the greatest factor hindering innovation.

What if there was a team that could bring this cost infinitely close to zero and repeat 165 experiments and improvements per day? That is the new form of development that our AI collaboration team has realized in these 3 months.


The "Automation Engine" Supporting Ultra-Fast PDCA


This unconventional speed is achieved not through willpower or perseverance, but through meticulously designed "mechanisms."

GUWE (General Workflow Engine): The heart that fully automates complex workflows such as article production and educational material development.

POSTMAN System: The nervous system that detects file changes and automatically assigns tasks to responsible AIs.

Various Automation Scripts: The hands and feet that unmanned all accompanying work involved in development, from startup confirmation to deployment.

Through the collaboration of these systems, humans only intervene in setting up the initial "question." The rest of the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle is autonomously and ultra-fast executed by the AIs.


One Tool Born from "14,823 Trials"


Let's look at a concrete example of how powerful this development style is.
We developed a general-purpose tool for book production that converts Markdown to high-quality PDF. When we analyzed the archives to see what happened behind the scenes, surprising facts emerged.

Node.js development trials: 14,823 cases

Backup and iteration files: 10,715 cases

Before one tool was completed, over 10,000 dependency adjustments, environment settings, and multiple approach tests were automatically executed. From countless trials and errors that humans would hesitate to attempt, only the optimal solutions are selected to become deliverables. This is the essence of our development process.


Conclusion: Innovation is Born from "Quantity"


The greatest value that AI collaboration brings is not mere efficiency improvement. It lies in shifting the premise of innovation from "quality" to "overwhelming quantity."

Without fearing the cost of failure, we repeat an unconventional number of trials. The breakthroughs that inevitably emerge from this will be the source of competitiveness in the coming era.

The track record of "implementing and deploying urgent projects in one day" is just one example. AI collaboration evolves the development culture itself into something bolder and more experimental.
