Premise

Extreme Programming was built on one bet - tight feedback loops beat upfront certainty. AI makes that bet stronger, not weaker, and shifts the cost of software from writing code to verifying, bounding, and integrating it.

The Practices

From Spec-First Prompting and Asymmetric Pairing to Agent Role Topology and Risk-Tiered Verification - engineering practices designed for machine-speed collaboration.
