FAQPage Schema
How do I adapt engineering processes for AI-assisted development?

Adapting engineering processes for AI-assisted development requires shifting focus from typing speed to planning quality, establishing explicit boundaries, and enforcing deterministic tests to guide AI agents effectively.

What is an AI-first architecture?

An AI-first architecture uses explicit boundaries, stable contracts, and typed interfaces to create an agent-friendly environment that allows AI to generate and implement code reliably.

How should code reviews change for AI-generated code?

Code reviews for AI-generated code should focus on behavior, security, and data integrity rather than style, ensuring the AI implementation meets deterministic testing standards and edge-case assertions.

What testing standards are needed for AI-first environments?

AI-first environments require higher testing bars, including regression coverage and edge-case assertions, to ensure deterministic tests validate the significant code implementation generated by AI agents.

What are the best hiring signals for AI-first engineers?

Key hiring signals for AI-first engineers include strong decomposition skills and prompt engineering capabilities, indicating they can effectively manage AI agents and evaluate code generation coverage.
