Agentic Development Survival Guide
A practical guide to navigating identity crisis and poor developer experience while trying to stay ahead of the curve of coding with AI agents.

Hi, I'm Valeria
Engineering leader and builder, writer and speaker, and, since recently, a founder of Great Little Software.
There's a lot of noise out there. New frameworks every week. AI that's going to replace us all (it won't). The pressure to ship more and faster, learn faster, be everywhere at once.
Stepping up from individual contributor to leadership makes it even more challenging: suddenly you're expected to shield others from it without stiffling their growth. And sound confident while figuring out as you go too.
And if you've managed to find your footing there and decided to step into enterpreneurship... Well, that's where I'm at and I'm barely passed the "I have no idea what I'm doing" phase.
This website is a collection of tutorials, essays and articles about things I've learned along the way. I update it when I have something worth sharing with no particular schedule.
