Augmented Coding is more than just asking an AI to help you write code.

You externalize your decision points, heuristics, and workflows into artifacts the agent can follow. The agent becomes your mentee.

As you do that, you change your focus from low-level details to high-level intent and methodology. Decisions that were unconscious become explicit.

In this talk, I’ll share my story of how I learned to teach AI a Software Crafter’s approach to development.

The agent follows a rigorous TDD process with 121 unique nodes and 131 directed edges that can run autonomously for hours, creating dozens of commits.

It covers advanced context engineering and techniques to increase autonomy while aiming to maintain quality.

And I will tell real stories of AI-enabled breakthroughs in real-world product development.

Design systems are often seen as essential in growing organizations. However, where design team is under-resourced, maintaining and evolving a coherent system becomes a challenge. This talk presents a pragmatic, engineer-led approach to promoting, using concrete React patterns and architecture.
