AI-DLC in Practice: What Structured AI Development Actually Looks Like
Thirty engineers in a room. One feature to build. By the end of the day, they had a validated specification, working code, and infrastructure configuration, all generated from a structured intent document they wrote together that morning. In the feedback survey, the team rated the experience 9.7 out of 10. Every single respondent expressed interest…

Mob Construction: What Changes When AI Generates Code from a Real Specification
Two weeks after the Mob Elaboration session I described in my previous post, the same financial services team sat down for their first Mob Construction session. They had a validated specification: twelve user stories with acceptance criteria, a domain model with verification tiers, non-functional requirements with measurable thresholds, and a risk register that included the regulatory…

Mob Elaboration: What Happens When AI Runs the Requirements Room
The first time I facilitated a Mob Elaboration session, the Product Owner read the Intent aloud: a new customer onboarding flow for a financial services platform. Within four minutes, the AI had generated twelve user stories, acceptance criteria for each, a proposed domain model, and a decomposition into three independent units of work. A senior…

The Community Is Building AI-DLC Without Knowing It
A few weeks ago, a developer on Reddit posted about a workflow they had built for Claude Code (r/ClaudeAI, March 2026). They had split their AI-assisted development into three distinct agents: an Architect that defined the system design and constraints, a Builder that generated the code, and a Reviewer that evaluated the output against the…

The Conversation This Book Is Really About
Over the past year, I’ve had the same conversation with at least thirty CTOs and VPs of Engineering. The setting changes: a conference hallway, a video call, a dinner after a workshop. The words change. But the conversation is always the same. It starts with a number. “Our developers are 40% more productive.” Or 30%.…

I Wrote a Book: Reimagine, Don’t Retrofit
I’ve been building software since I was fourteen, when I sold my first software product. Nearly three decades later, having risen through consulting and architecture roles, co-founded companies, and eventually become a CTO responsible for the delivery strategy of hundreds of cloud projects across Latin America, one pattern has stayed constant. Every major platform shift…

Reimagine, Don’t Retrofit: Why AI Needs a New Development Lifecycle
A few months ago, I sat in on a retrospective with a development team at a mid-sized financial services company. They had adopted AI coding assistants six months earlier. The mood was… complicated. On one hand, individual developers were writing code faster than ever. On the other, the team’s sprint velocity metric had become meaningless.…
