The Framework

This workshop teaches a disciplined workflow in three acts:

Act 1: Rehearsal (~75% of time)

Deep collaborative thinking to build a shared understanding and a vetted plan.
  • Define the problem space completely
  • Explore constraints and edge cases
  • Build a detailed execution plan
  • Validate assumptions before coding
Why this takes most of the time: Getting alignment upfront prevents expensive rework later.

Act 2: Performance (~5% of time)

Fast execution of the well-vetted plan.
  • AI implements the agreed-upon design
  • Engineer monitors and guides
  • Rapid iteration on implementation details
Why this is so fast: When the plan is solid, execution is straightforward.

Act 3: Polish (~20% of time)

Closing the loop through multiple verification layers:
  1. Self-review: Does it match the plan?
  2. Automated checks: Tests, linting, type checking
  3. Human verification: Code review and integration testing
Why this matters: Quality gates ensure nothing ships broken.

The Inversion

Traditional development: 5% planning, 75% coding, 20% debugging AI-assisted development: 75% planning, 5% coding, 20% verification The effort shifts from writing code to ensuring correctness.
