In our episode, he walked through the free tools he built to make that possible: Lavish for visual planning in HTML artifacts, Treehouse for parallel agents, and No Mistakes for catching AI coding errors before they make it to production.Kun and I talked about:
Why he doesn't review code anymore
Agentic engineering: Plan, code, validate
Demo: Fixing an AI tutor screen with agents
Demo: Why HTML is better than markdown for planning
