The 5 Techniques Separating Top Agentic Engineers Right Now

You're probably leaving most of the potential of AI coding assistants on the table. Engineers who are actually shipping production code at insane speeds? They're playing a completely different game. After studying the workflows of developers who are genuinely 10xing their output, I've identified 5 meta-skills that separate the top 1% from everyone else. It has nothing to do with the tools, it's all about the process and workflows. In this video, I'll break down each skill: starting every project with a PRD, keeping your rules modular and focused, turning repetitive workflows into commands, resetting context between planning and execution, and treating every bug as an opportunity for system evolution. These are the skills that compound over time and make you genuinely dangerous with AI coding tools. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - The Dynamous Agentic Coding Course is now FULLY released - learn how to build reliable and repeatable systems for AI coding: https://dynamous.ai/agentic-coding-course - GitHub repo with the Habit Tracker and commands: https://github.com/coleam00/habit-tracker/tree/main - Diagram from this video: https://github.com/coleam00/habit-tracker/blob/main/Top1%25AgenticEngineering.png ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 0:00 - Intro 0:45 - PRD-First Development 4:19 - Modular Rules Architecture 7:31 - Command-ify Everything 9:23 - The Context Reset 11:46 - System Evolution Mindset ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Join me as I push the limits of what is possible with AI.
