Wrote some notes on agent-first SDLC and how to bridge it temporary with a huge shift in tooling https://github.com/podviaznikov/sdlc-bridge/blob/main/WHY.md

Beautifully laid out. Do you have a tactical “how to” for rolling this into a real team with first steps and common pitfalls?

yeah, that is exactly what i do to create in the repo. i will try to create simple github actions that will do publishing to gdocs, linear and pulling comments from those systems back(and maybe even slack). an obviously it should work with other systems too like JIRA and confluence. but i think implementation shouldn’t be hard part and anyone can do custom one quickly

Thanks, this is useful!

I'm currently at the stage where my agentic dev loop is running and feedback is flowing, but I haven't reached true autonomy yet. I still have to control things with manual workarounds constantly. That's exactly why I'm curious about others' experiences.

The most interesting challenge to me is the transition path in practice: how do you get from the messy reality to that clean ideal picture when a team is already mid-project with their own ingrained habits and tooling preferences?
