One day. A real codebase.
What questions appear in your head?
One day, hands-on. You will spend most of it building agentic AI processes on a real, messy, inherited codebase - the kind you actually walk into on a job, not a clean tutorial repo. Then a two-week piece afterwards, on your own real work.
In a controlled study, doctors were given AI advice that was confident and wrong. Their accuracy got worse. The most experienced clinicians fell the hardest - because years had taught them that a well-articulated claim in their field is usually correct. They had everything they needed to catch the error. They just did not engage it.
That is the whole problem. Not that AI is too clever. That we stop asking.
So this is not a day about prompts or tools. It is about what questions appear in your head when a machine hands you something fluent - and whether the professional discipline you already have fires when the source is a chat window instead of a colleague.
By the end of the day and the two weeks after it:
The day is where you learn to think about it and build one. The two weeks is where you do the whole arc yourself, on real work.
This is intense. It is not an introduction to AI. You will get the most from it if you already work with AI or with software, and if you are the kind of person who likes taking a problem apart to see how it actually works - because that is most of what the day is.
Mixed on purpose: working engineers alongside people earlier in their career. Each half is the other half's exposure.
