Podcast: A 4-Step Agentic Engineering Workflow — Isolate, Build, Prove, Ship
petergyang · x · 2026-10-11
- Peter Yang's Behind the Craft podcast (47 min) features Ras Mic, a full-stack engineer who has taught 100K+ people to build with AI, on avoiding AI "slop factories" with a 4-step agentic workflow.
- The four steps: 1) Isolate — give each agent its own worktree to run many in parallel; 2) Build — provide reusable building blocks and clear structure; 3) Prove — make agents run validation loops that record proof it works (one step he never hands to agents); 4) Ship — agents review PRs on a loop, escalating to manual review when needed.
- Also covered: why he doesn't write specs, Astra vs Fable for coding, and whether AI skills are obsolete. Written takeaways at creatoreconomy.so.
