Episode notes
AI Is More Than Code
- Coding with AI is bigger than just writing code and includes research, workflows, and product work.
- Kieran says agents are now capable enough to handle the whole engineering process, not only editing files.
Agent Fixed A Missing Email Flow
- Kieran had Claude Code inspect the git log to list last-week releases and generated a marketing-style writeup automatically.
- He used the agent to find a missing email-send line, create a PR, and draft a migration script in minutes.
Make Prompts That Build Prompts
- Build a reusable prompt that generates detailed research documents and GitHub issues from brief feature descriptions.
- Use that prompt to turn quick ideas into well-scoped tasks that agents can implement reliably.
