AI Coding Isn't the Problem. Your Workflow Might Be.

88% of organizations now use AI in at least one business function, yet many remain stuck in the pilot phase — and more than half have already experienced negative consequences from AI inaccuracies.

Lost context in long conversations

Confidently wrong code

Inconsistent architecture

Hidden security problems

More code than your team can review

Expensive refactoring cycles

Workflows that only work for the person who built them

The tool isn't the problem. The approach is.

The Curriculum

What You'll Learn

Understand What Your AI Coding Assistant Is Actually Doing

Why it forgets, why it hallucinates, and why the same prompt gives different results. You'll learn the principles beneath the tools — ideas that apply to Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Kiro, or whatever comes next.

Go Beyond Prompting

Four distinct approaches — and when to use each, instead of forcing every problem into the same workflow.

Agent Workflows

Let agents plan and execute multi-step work.

Spec-Driven Development

Define the intent, then generate against it.

Chat & Inline Assistance

Fast, in-context help without losing flow.

Parallel Agents

Run work concurrently when it pays off.

Build an AI Context Ecosystem for Your Project

The infrastructure that makes AI reliable on your actual codebase.

Architecture Documentation Style Guides Context Files Instruction Configurations MCP Integrations Agent Skills & Open Standards

AI Can Generate Code Faster Than You Can Read It. That Changes the Job.

Generating code is no longer the bottleneck — reviewing and verifying it is. In this workshop you'll make verification first-class, with repeatable processes instead of hope.

Critique runs Automated checks Quality gates Structured review workflows Better agent instructions Repeatable verification processes

The goal isn't more code. It's code you can actually trust.

This Isn't a Day of Watching Slides. You're Going to Build.

This workshop is hands-on. You'll work through exercises using your own project and build the actual files and infrastructure — not toy examples you throw away afterwards.

What You'll
Walk Away With

Structure AI interactions for reliable results

Prevent context loss and reduce hallucinations

Choose between agents, specs, chat, and inline

Create effective project context

Establish coding and architecture instructions

Build repeatable verification and quality workflows

Connect AI with external tools through MCP

Use emerging standards such as Agent Skills

Create AI infrastructure that survives changes in tools and vendors

You'll have started building these systems for your own project during the workshop.

The Fit Check

Who Should Attend?

If you've thought any of this, you're in the right room:

"AI generated this incredibly fast… now I have to figure out whether any of it is good."

"Why does my assistant keep forgetting things I've explained?"

"Everyone on my team uses AI differently."

"I'm fighting the tool instead of working with it."

"How do we make this repeatable?"

Prerequisites

Level: Intermediate

Basic development experience in Angular

Familiarity with your code editor

Access to an AI coding assistant (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Kiro, or similar)

Examples use Angular, but the concepts apply to any stack. No previous AI or ML knowledge required.

Your Instructor

Michael Hladky

Michael guides you through the concepts and practical techniques behind reliable AI-assisted development workflows — focusing on the underlying principles rather than any one product, so you can adapt as the tools keep evolving.

Michael Hladky is a Google Developer Expert (GDE) and Nx Champion with a deep focus on web performance, scalability, and AI-powered development. As CEO of PushBased, he helps teams and organizations design streamlined architectures, build blazing-fast applications, and establish modern, secure, and highly productive development environments.

With years of experience as an enterprise consultant and trainer, Michael is passionate about empowering developers through practical expertise and high-impact solutions. A dedicated community contributor, he speaks at international conferences, leads workshops, and organizes events to support and inspire fellow developers.

One Day Can Change How You Work With AI.

The developers who benefit most won't be the ones with the cleverest prompts — they'll be the ones who give AI the right context, clear instructions, the right workflow, and verification. Spend one day building that foundation.
