Tactical Agentic Coding – Agentic Engineer
AI CODING IS NOT ENOUGH
Here’s what most engineers miss:
- AI Coding was just the beginning (Phase 1)
- Vibe Coding is the lowest hanging fruit
- 95% of all codebases are now outdated and inefficient
- IMPORTANT: You, the engineer, are the bottleneck — not the models – not the tools – not the agents
While everyone sits “In the Loop” prompting back and forth with powerful agentic coding tools, 90% of the true value of AI Agents like Claude Code lies untapped. Engineers are wasting their exponential potential because they lack the information needed to use Agentic Coding at peak performance.
The Problem Is… Most of the tech industry is still building as if AI Agents don’t exist. Why? Because most engineers don’t understand that the old ways of engineering, and even AI Coding, are completely outdated. With the creation of AI Agents (with Claude Code leading the way), a new engineering role has emerged, and in order to scale beyond AI Coding and vibe coding, you must begin your evolution into this new role.
What’s the new engineering role? Take a quick look at the URL you’re on right now. I’ve been holding this URL for years, while building the skills and beliefs needed for this transition. Hoping that one day, the right compute and the right tooling would emerge. Today, it’s finally time. You and I can now become Agentic Engineers.
Agentic Engineering isn’t about models, prompting, or agents — it’s about composing the old world of software engineering with the new world of agents to achieve exponential scales of engineering. It’s about stepping out of the loop entirely. It’s about building systems that build systems. It’s about encoding your engineering excellence into your agents with templates and ADWs so they ship on your behalf while maintaining your engineering standards, while you’re AFK.
With Tactical Agentic Coding – TAC, you’ll begin your transition into this new role of engineering to unlock exponential scales of engineering for you, your team and your customers.
Here, in TAC, you’ll think hard and learn to step out of the loop.
Let’s start with a simple question that guides everything you’ll accomplish in TAC…
What if your codebase could ship itself?
NOT FOR BEGINNERS
If you’re not actively shipping production code, close this tab now. TAC is built exclusively for the top 20% of engineers who are ready to push their engineering abilities to the next-next level. Watch this to qualify.
What will you learn?
In Tactical Agentic Coding, my mission is to transform you into an engineer THEY CAN’T REPLACE.
How will we accomplish this massive goal?
We’ll do this by committing to two career-changing decisions:
-
Let go of the old ways of engineering
-
Master the new best tool for engineering: Agents
You’ll master Agents by internalizing 8 Tactics of Agentic Coding that elevate you into an engineer that BUILDS THE SYSTEM – THAT BUILDS THE SYSTEM.
The 12 Leverage Points of Agentic Coding
Master the in-agent and through-agent leverage points that maximize your agents’ autonomy. Learn to stack standard out, types, tests, architecture, other leverage points for inevitable agentic success.
Out of the Loop Engineering
Progress from “In the Loop” prompting to fully autonomous “Out of the Loop” systems. There’s repeat work you’re doing right now that you don’t have to be IF you have the right agent pipeline.
Teach Your Agents Your Way
Encode your best engineering practices into your agents so they ship how you would ship. Transform vague prompts into production-ready specifications automatically.
AI Developer Workflows (ADWs)
Build the highest level of agentic abstraction by combining deterministic code with non-deterministic agents. Create workflows of agents that automate entire classes of engineering work autonomously.
Measure Your Agentic Success
Track your progression with four critical agentic coding KPIs. Instead of guessing if you’re improving as an agentic engineer, KNOW you’re improving.
Prioritize Your Agents
Progress toward the North Star of agentic coding where your codebase literally runs itself. Shift your focus from the AI coding your application layer to building the system that builds the system.
BUILD SYSTEMS THAT BUILD SYSTEMS
Success in Phase 2 of the Generative AI age requires more than AI Coding and Vibe Coding. Here’s the trick: Don’t build your codebase — build your agent pipeline that builds your codebase. These aren’t just tactics, they’re the foundation of a new engineering paradigm where your best engineering practices are encoded once and executed infinitely by fleets of specialized agents. Inside of Tactical Agentic Coding you’ll learn the exact steps to build the system that builds the system. This will give you a (massive) asymmetric advantage in the age of agents.
STOP CODING START TEMPLATING
The irreplaceable engineers of tomorrow aren’t typing code. They’re commanding compute. Building pipelines of AI Agents that ship features with their best practices. While everyone else is stuck “In the Loop” prompting back and forth, wasting their time and potential. With TAC, you’ll learn to stop coding and start encoding your engineering into your agents for repeat success. Instead of writing prompts (yourself or with agents), you’ll learn to encode your engineering best practices into your agents. Your agents will then use your guide to write and execute plans, docs, tests, and anything you need. This new type of prompt will lead you to massively scaling up your plan and review velocity, the two constraints of agentic coding.
MASTER THE SCALE OF THE CORE FOUR
Tools have been around for a while, but only with powerful agentic coding tools like Claude Code can you now exploit the scale of the Core Four: Context, Model, Prompt, and Tools. We’re talking long-running (minutes to hours), self-correcting, self-validating, self-documenting agent pipelines that run on your behalf. This enables something incredible, you can stop working IN your codebase and start working ON your AI Agents. How well you build and deploy agents that operate your application determines your success in Phase 2 of the Generative AI age.
