Build it with a coding agent

You decide the architecture. The agent writes the code.

Agentic engineering, not vibe coding. You make the architectural calls before the agent touches the keyboard; Claude Code or Cursor handles implementation. You review the decisions, not just whether it compiles.

When this fits

You know what you want to build and have strong opinions about how it should work.
You want velocity without sacrificing quality or scalability.
Your backend instincts are strong enough to review output critically.

What it demands

Strong opinions upfront. The agent domain is new and the training data is sparse, so you have to point the agent at the right references and catch the choices you would not have made.
