Michael Bloch profiles a startup that rebuilt its engineering workflow entirely around AI agents like Claude Code and Codex. The core inversion: engineers stopped writing code as their primary activity. Mornings before 10am are reserved for alignment, spec writing, and prompt crafting – actual implementation runs through agents. Code review shifted from reading diffs line-by-line to evaluating outputs against single-sentence objectives. The playbook goes further than most agent-adoption stories circulating right now, treating codebases as context for AI consumption rather than human-readable libraries. It’s a small team, early days, but the structural bet is clear – optimize for human decision-making time and let compute handle the rest.
