Guides to becoming an AI-native engineering team
A journey through adopting AI agents in engineering: from strategy to implementation, from workflows to governance. Deepened bit by bit, pillar by pillar.
Foundations
The mental models that separate teams who ship production software with AI from teams who ship technical debt.
Cornerstone guide
How I Build with AI Coding Agents
My real, end-to-end process: intent capture, agentic workflows, multi-agent orchestration, review, testing, and shipping production code with confidence.
Foundations
Agentic Engineering vs Vibe Coding
Vibe coding and agentic engineering both use AI to write code, but only one produces software you can put in production. Here is the distinction, and how to move a team to the disciplined side.
Foundations
What an AI Coding Agent Actually Is (and Isn't)
An AI coding agent is more than autocomplete and less than a senior engineer. This guide gives a clear definition, explains the loop that makes it an agent, and shows what it is not.
Workflows
The day-to-day practice: capturing intent, running agents, reviewing, and keeping a tight feedback loop.
Governance & risk
Adopting AI across a team without losing control of standards, security, IP, or the skills of your juniors.
Governance
An AI Coding Policy Template for Engineering Organizations
A short, copy-ready AI coding policy for engineering organizations: six points to cover, how to make them enforceable, and how to roll them out without a revolt.
Governance
Auditability and Compliance of AI-Assisted Development
What an auditor or a technology due diligence team asks about AI-assisted code, what evidence a disciplined team already has, and a minimal checklist to close the gaps.
Tooling
An independent read on the AI coding tools, from someone with no vendor to favor, so you can match the tool to how your team works.
Tooling
Claude Code vs Cursor vs GitHub Copilot
An independent, hype-free comparison of the three main AI coding tools by what they are actually good at, from someone with no vendor to favor, so you can match the tool to how your team works.
Tooling
CLI Agents vs IDE Agents vs Inline Assistants
AI coding tools come in three shapes, not one. This guide explains the difference between inline assistants, IDE agents, and CLI agents, and how to match the shape to the work your team does.
