Engineering With AI

Stop vibe coding. Start building production-grade software with AI. You've tried AI coding assistants. They're fast. They're impressive. And then your demo breaks in production, your codebase becomes unmaintainable, and you spend more time fixing AI mistakes than you saved. Engineering with AI introduces Conversational Coding, a disciplined methodology that combines the fluidity of natural dialogue with production-grade engineering practices. This isn't about prompt engineering or AI tool tutorials. It's about fundamentally reshaping how you build software. What you'll learn: The Feature Capsule system that takes AI from 40% first-pass accuracy to 85%, a structured contract that eliminates hallucination and drift The Three-Cycle Framework (Thinking → Building → Learning) with evidence-based gates that ensure quality isn't declared but demonstrated How to treat AI as a department, not a tool - with defined agent roles from Architect to Grumpy User that scale from solo founder to enterprise team Why AI is a multiplier, not a corrector - and how to build the foundational knowledge that makes that multiplication valuable Gated development practices that let you move fast while maintaining the ability to reverse any decision cheaply This book is for: Solo founders who want to wield the output of a full engineering department Team leads managing AI adoption across 2-100 developers Engineers transitioning from traditional development to AI collaboration Technical managers who need governance without bureaucracy This book is NOT for: AI/ML engineers building machine learning models Anyone looking for tool-specific tutorials that expire with the next update What makes this different: Most AI coding guides teach you to move faster. This book teaches you to move faster and more deliberately. Every feature you build improves your patterns, standards, and documentation for the next one. Knowledge compounds. Quality scales. The methodology works for teams of one and teams of one hundred because it's built on the same principle: AI amplifies whatever you bring to it. Bring chaos, get faster chaos. Bring discipline, get disciplined output at unprecedented speed. Includes a complete end-to-end walkthrough building a real multi-tenant SaaS application, from initial intent through production deployment to retrospective, demonstrating every concept in practice. Once you've read the book, join our online community to gain access to: Digital updates as tools evolve Access to the role-based companion guides with system prompts, configurations, and patterns The Agent Persona Library with 200+ agents for different workflows and personas The question isn't whether AI will change how software is built. It already has. The question is whether you'll lead that change with intention, or chase it with regret.
