AI-assisted coding for teams that can’t get away with vibes

AI should be adopted by serious engineering teams that want to build thoughtful, well-crafted products. This requires skillful usage of these tools. Our obsession with building high-quality software for over a decade has driven us to figure out how this new way of building can result in better products.

Building with AI is fast. The gains in velocity are important, because when harnessed correctly, it allows teams to tighten feedback loops with users faster and make better products.

Yet, AI tools are tricky to use. Hold it wrong, and you can generate underwhelming results, worse still, slow down your velocity by drowning your project in slop and technical debt.

This living playbook is based on our experience working with AI tools in the messy trenches of production software, where no one can afford to get away with vibes. I hope other teams can learn and benefit from our findings.
