Lessons
- 39.1Testing without coding: make the agent prove itClaude Code writes the tests. You decide what they must check, and you make sure they can actually fail. 30 min
- 39.2Debugging with AI: evidence before fixesDon't let the agent guess fix after fix. Make it find the cause first, with evidence. 30 min
- 39.3Security for vibe coders: what the agent won't askThe agent builds for honest users. You ask five questions so it's safe from everyone else. 30 min
- 39.4Deploy and operate what the agent builtShipping isn't the finish line. Know how to switch it on slowly, how to undo it, and which numbers to watch. 30 min
- 39.5When to ask a human: knowing your limitsThe agent makes every change feel equally easy. You decide which ones need an expert's eyes. 30 min
- 39.6Capstone: ship a real feature with Claude CodeOne real feature, start to finish. Claude Code does the typing; you make every decision and decide when it's done. 30 min
On the job: try it on your own project
Take one feature from your backlog and ship it with Claude Code, on a branch, through review. Write the acceptance tests first and check the tests Claude writes really test them. Ask it for a security pass on secrets, auth and inputs. Before deploying, write a short release checklist: env vars, monitoring, rollback plan, and the point where you would ask a human expert.
