Gliders Guild is where practitioners share what actually works in AI-assisted development. Not prompt tricks. Not Claude.md hacks. The corrections, standards, and practices that turn individual skill into organizational knowledge.
Videos, essays, and practitioner notes. No spam. Unsubscribe anytime.
// What this is
Short, opinionated videos from a practitioner with 24 years of enterprise architecture experience. Not tutorials. Arguments about what works and why.
What experienced developers actually learn from working with AI tools daily. The patterns nobody writes up because they seem too obvious — until you see someone else make the same mistake.
The developers getting the best results aren't writing longer prompts. They're capturing corrections and building standards. That shift — from instructions to governance — is the practice.
// Why this exists
The developers who are actually getting good at AI-assisted development want to watch someone do it, not read an abstraction of what it looks like. They want to see the decisions, the corrections, the moments where experienced judgment changes the trajectory of a session.
Each video makes a specific argument and leaves the viewer with an insight they can apply immediately. The content arc moves from "how do I use AI tools better" to "how do I capture what I learn and make it organizational knowledge."
// The shift
// The audience arc
Experimenting with AI tools. What does "good" look like? Practices you can apply in your next session.
Scaling what works across a team. The onboarding problem, the consistency problem, the knowledge-capture problem.
Organizational-scale AI governance. Authority hierarchies, earned autonomy, the 12-layer governance stack.
