What you'll learn

Map the 4 layers of agentic harness for your product

Frontend, backend, infrastructure, and AI backend — the fourth layer that's now emerging in every agentic product.

Find the 3 questions that expose an unshipped feature

PII handling, context window limits, retry logic, the exact questions that turned one PM's demo into a Q3 liability.

Spot bugs at the boundaries before they reach spec review

Most production bugs live between layers, not inside one, see how to write acceptance criteria that catch them first.

Why this topic matters

AI-native teams now ship 3–5x faster — but velocity without architectural literacy is how technical debt paralyzes a roadmap six months later. Claude Code has collapsed the time from idea to running code, not the complexity underneath it. This session gives you the full-stack mental model to catch the problem before you own it in Q3.
