Simplicity Is Invisible by Design. That Makes It a Management Problem.
Engineering teams reward complexity by accident because simplicity leaves no artifact. Four ways a manager can make avoided complexity visible.
Senior Engineering Manager at Staffbase — communities, mobile, and a plugin platform built for the agent era.
Specs, plans, reviews, phase gates — I manage AI agents the way I manage engineers.
Agentic workflows, engineering leadership, and the craft in between.
Engineering teams reward complexity by accident because simplicity leaves no artifact. Four ways a manager can make avoided complexity visible.
We shipped a greenfield project in three weeks by building the system around the AI models, not the prompts. I call it APE: Agentic Product Engineering.
AI engineering workflows assume one expert orchestrator. Here's what breaks when five engineers run agent sessions on one codebase — and our fix.
AI-assisted coding patterns that actually work, from months of experiments: two case studies — delegated testing and parallel review with Claude Code.
Build Mastra AI workflows step by step — parallel steps, branching, suspend/resume, multi-agent, and serverless deployment — with TypeScript examples.
