Inside a staff engineer’s AI spec-driven development workflow
There’s a new AI coding workflow every week. But it’s hard to tell what’s real versus just a flashy demo.
The fastest way to get better isn’t reading another thread on X. It’s watching how someone else works.
In this livestream series, we bring on senior engineers to share how they’re actually coding with AI.
This week’s guest: Sam Breed
Sam was previously a Senior Staff Software Engineer at Credit Karma. Now Partner at Sutter Hill Ventures and one of the engineering leads behind Augment Intent. He’s been rebuilding real-world dev workflows around spec-driven development.
In this session we’ll dig into:
How specs are structured before code is written
How and why worktrees are used
ADE vs IDE vs CLI, and when to use what
Where AI actually helps, and where it doesn’t
Join live, ask questions, and leave with workflows you can test in your own setup.
