Matt Pocock releases AI Coding Crash Course: Mastering Engineering Practices with Agents
mattpocockuk · x · 2026-08-18
Matt Pocock has launched the AI Coding Crash Course, designed to help developers transition from "vibe coding" to rigorous software engineering practices. The course focuses on understanding how LLMs and coding agents work internally, covering core concepts like "Smart Zone vs Dumb Zone", "Compaction vs Handoff", and steering with AGENTS.md and skills. The goal is to enable users to build high-quality, production-grade software rather than just tackling small tasks.
