This is the third and final part of my series on agentic engineering. If you want to read the first two articles, see the following links: - Ten rules for spec-driven design -…
Using Jobs-to-be-done to improve your agentic spec
In my last article, I introduced ten rules to help you move from vibe-coder to AI Product Architect by building specs. However, I glossed over a few of the details. The basic…
Ten rules for spec-driven design
Recently, I posted an article on the AI Maturity Model. In that article, I proposed six stages of growth - from tactician or accidental editor to the agentic engineer. The biggest…

Using SpecKit with multiple AI agents
I wanted to put down my workflow and all the details for using SpecKit using a superior reasoning and planning LLM (like Opus 4.5 via Claude Code, or Gemini 3 via the Gemini CLI)…
AI Assisted Editors: A Comparison (Part 1)
You can't go a lap about development these days without bumping into AI assisted editors. Most of the AI tooling companies I see are heavily investing in Visual Studio Code based…
AI Assisted Editors: A Comparison (Part 2)
In my last article, I provided a break down of the three commercial AI assisted editors that I use on a regular basis. However, not everyone can afford a monthly subscription…
