Most Friday mornings I meet a few friends at Switchyards in Nashville to compare notes on building with AI. No agenda, no demos-or-else, no recording - just a couple of hours of &amp;ldquo;here&amp;rsquo;s what I tried, here&amp;rsquo;s what surprised me.&amp;rdquo; It&amp;rsquo;s become the most useful standing appointment on my calendar, because the things you learn tool-to-tool never make it into anyone&amp;rsquo;s launch post. One of those mornings already sent me home to &lt;a href="https://thedetech.com/blog/eliminating-waste-in-the-sdlc/">rebuild my entire engineering workflow&lt;/a>
