Beyond Code: Build Reliable AI-Assisted Software with Context Engineering, Mechanical Gates, and AI Agent Control by Jeremy McEntire
**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**
But the core of software engineering was never just about writing syntax. Discover why AI changes engineering by moving attention from code output to durable decisions, safer boundaries, and shared understanding Key Features Apply context engineering to control what AI coding agents see and produce Replace subjective code review with mechanical gates and executable acceptance criteria Design and coordinate multi-agent workflows that close the build-test-deploy loop reliably Book Description The advent of AI coding agents has triggered an identity crisis in tech. It is about solving problems, defining constraints, and translating business reality into scalable software solutions. Beyond Code is the practitioner's survival guide to the new landscape of software development, teaching you how to stop competing with the machine and start directing it.
