Automating Agentic AI Success Using This SECRET Workflow

Discover the future of software engineering in this deep dive into agentic AI and modern software engineering practices. As artificial intelligence continues its disruption of the tech industry, the future of work for developers is shifting from writing implementation details to becoming "explorers of problems". In this AI Briefing, Dave Farley explores how elite engineers are coding with ai by using structured natural language as the next generation of programming language. Key topics covered: - How to use Claude Code and other agents with a "fitness function" for deterministic results. - Claude Code tips for creating executable specifications that act as a contract for ai. - The role of ATDD and TDD in raising the abstraction level of code. - Why modern software engineering requires humans to focus on behavioral acceptance criteria. - Using the Farley Index as a feedback loop for better ai code and automated tests. - 🎓 LEARN & HARNESS THE POWER OF ATDD: Want to master the workflow shown in this video? We believe ATDD is the future of programming, and especially the key to getting reliable, production-ready code out of AI.
