Agent-First Software Engineering

Most engineering teams are already using AI — but without a shared framework, it often creates more risk than leverage.

Engineers skip planning, generate large diffs, and rely on reviews to catch mistakes. Juniors hesitate to use AI at all. Seniors are skeptical. Managers struggle to define what “good” AI usage looks like. The result is inconsistency, bad habits, and uncertainty around ownership.

This course exists to reset the baseline.

AI doesn’t replace engineers — it changes what engineers are responsible for. The highest-leverage work is no longer typing code faster, but exploring systems, planning changes clearly, reviewing output skeptically, and maintaining ownership of what ships.

In this accelerator, you’ll learn a repeatable, production-ready workflow for using AI responsibly. We focus on how staff engineers actually work: turning vague ideas into reviewable plans, generating code incrementally, and holding humans accountable for outcomes.

This is not a vibe coding course. It’s a mindset and workflow shift designed to make AI safe, fast, and trustworthy in real production environments.
