Stop writing code and start writing specs. Learn to describe exactly what you want in a structured format that AI agents execute perfectly — frontend, backend, and tests in parallel. Ship features the same day you think of them.
What You Build

The Software Factory
A paradigm where developers stop writing code by hand. AI coding agents implement features and fix bugs while humans design, architect, and improve the factory itself.
Traditional Workflow Problem
The conventional software development lifecycle with specialized roles running 2-week sprints. Handoffs are the bottleneck — each one adds waiting time and context loss.
AI Coding Agents
Autonomous software agents (Claude Code, Stripe Minions, Gas Town Polecats) that read codebases, write code, run tests, and open pull requests with minimal human interaction during execution.
Spec-Driven Development
Writing clear, structured specifications that AI agents can execute on, replacing the traditional ticket → code → review cycle. The spec is the new unit of work.
The Builder Role
The evolution from specialized roles (frontend dev, QA, BA) to generalist builders who all contribute to the product. Expertise becomes a superpower, not a job boundary.
Backpressure
Automated feedback systems (type checkers, linters, test suites, build systems) that keep agents on track. Without backpressure, you review trivial mistakes. With it, agents self-correct.
Blueprint Architecture
Hybrid systems combining deterministic code nodes (run linters, push changes) with agentic subtasks (implement feature, fix CI). A pipeline with guardrails, not full autonomy.
