Lean TECHniques' Director of Engineering, Scott Sauber, and Principal Engineer, Brandon Oakley, are alongside some of the LaunchDarkly team this week celebrating their successes and discussing what's ahead for companies in the agentic era.

Scott also had the opportunity to spend a few minutes talking about the state of agentic coding, what we're seeing within engineering teams and the impact on product quality and control.

Strong partnerships like this one mean greater access to the right resources and capabilities plus the insight to put them to work for clients. 🀝

Thanks for a great couple days, LaunchDarkly!

Many teams treat AI as a tool. Nate Sepich works a different way, with AI integrated and working alongside the team as a teammate.

In our next Lean BYTES, Nate will show how he’s put AI to work across both the product management and software development lifecycles to evolve how small teams operate and cut the friction of day-to-day work.

He’ll walk through an end-to-end example from a recent project, covering the places he tapped into AI and the techniques he used to limit constant tool switching, keep knowledge in place across tools, and make better use of tokens and the team’s time.
