#92: 1 Man Company Agentic Engineering:10 DOs & Don'ts
你一个人,但需要做 5 个人的事。
*You're one person. But you're doing the work of five.*
需求文档?你写。代码架构?你定。测试?你跑。部署?还是你。
*Product spec? You write it. System architecture? You design it. Testing? You run it. Deployment? Still you.*
这不是抱怨,这是 Solo Founder、独立工程师、技术 Lead 的日常现实。
*This isn't a complaint — it's the daily reality of solo founders, independent engineers, and technical leads.*
***
哈佛商学院今年刚发布了一项研究:他们跟踪了 200 名工程师长达 9 个月,结论出人意料——
*Harvard Business Review recently published a striking finding: they tracked 200 engineers over 9 months, and the conclusion was counterintuitive —*
**用了 AI 的人,工作量反而增加了。**
***People who used AI ended up with more work, not less.***
速度更快,被分配更多任务。工具更多,注意力更碎片化。AI 放大了原有的工作节奏,而不是改变它。
*Work faster, get assigned more. More tools, more context-switching. AI amplified the existing pace of work — it didn't change it.*
这项研究说中了很多人的感受:AI 没有给我们自由,它只是让我们更忙。但这也说明——问题不在 AI,在于我们怎么用它。
*This research captured what many of us already feel: AI hasn't freed us — it just made us busier. But that also means the problem isn't AI. It's how we use it.*
***
本次分享,讲者将从自己的真实项目经验出发,拆解他如何用 **Agentic Engineering** 方法论,真正实现了一个人跑出整个工程团队产能的工作方式。
*In this talk, the speaker will draw on his own real projects to break down how he uses the **Agentic Engineering** methodology to genuinely achieve the output of a full engineering team — as one person.*
不是让 AI 帮你聊天,而是让 AI 成为你的产品经理、工程团队、工程文化和 DevOps——
*Not using AI to chat — but making AI your product manager, your engineering team, your engineering culture, and your DevOps.*
分享将以 **10 DOs & Don'ts** 为主线,每一条都有对应的真实场景。10 个 DO/DON'T,是他从中整理出来的实战清单。
*He's been there. The 10 DOs & Don'ts are the practical checklist he built from those mistakes.*
***
**你将带走什么 · What You'll Take Away**
不是理论框架,是一套当晚就能用的判断标准:
*Not a theoretical framework — a set of judgment principles you can apply the same night:*
* 什么时候用 Claude,什么时候切 Codex,什么时候用 Raycast *When to use Claude, when to switch to Codex, when to reach for Raycast*
* 为什么"提问前先优化提示词"能把输出质量翻倍 *Why optimizing your prompt before asking can double output quality*
* Plan Mode 和直接对话的区别,以及在什么情况下必须用 Plan Mode *The difference between Plan Mode and direct chat — and when you must use Plan Mode*
* 如何把反复有效的提示词固化为跨项目的 Skill 资产 *How to crystallize effective prompts into reusable Skills that compound across projects*
* 如何搭建一套多机可同步、一行命令恢复的 1 Man Company 工程环境 *How to build a 1 Man Company engineering environment: portable, multi-machine, one-command recovery*
***
**适合谁来 · Who Should Attend**
正在用 AI 写代码、但感觉还没找到节奏的工程师。独立开发者或 Solo Founder,想把个人产能天花板再往上推一层。对 Agentic AI 感兴趣,但还没有实战经验可以参照的技术人。
*Engineers who are using AI to code but haven't found their rhythm yet. Independent developers or solo founders who want to push their personal productivity ceiling higher. Technical practitioners curious about Agentic AI but without real-world reference points yet.*
不需要提前了解 Claude 或 Codex,只需要有过"AI 没帮上忙"的困惑,就值得来听一听。
*No prior knowledge of Claude or Codex required. If you've ever felt that "AI just isn't helping me the way it should" — this talk is for you.*

SINGLES MIXER + ST. PATRICK’S AFTERPARTY MARCH 14th SATURDAY
# **Two different vibes, All In 1 Ticket - Singles Mixer Followed BY Afterparty**
**First Event (6:00–9:30 PM): Salsa for Singles**
**This portion of the night is a singles-focused experience. It’s designed as a fun, social mixer where guests learn Salsa and Bachata in a relaxed, welcoming setting.**
**You don’t need prior dance experience**
**Music during this time is Latin-focused (Salsa, Bachata, Latin rhythms)**
**The goal is connection, energy, and learning — not a nightclub party**
**👉 If you’re not single, this part isn’t required and totally optional.**
**Afterparty (10:00 PM – Late): St. Paddy’s Weekend Party 🍀**
**Once the lessons wrap up, the venue fully transforms into a St. Patrick’s Weekend nightclub party.**
**No lessons, no singles format — JUST PARTYING**
**Music switches to modern club hits:**
**Hip-hop & rap**
**Top 100 / chart hits**
**Bollywood**
**High-energy party music you’d expect on a Saturday night**
**This is the portion that feels like a regular nightclub experience, and it’s open to everyone — couples, groups, friends, and party-goers alike.**
**Bottom line**
**💃 Early night = Latin dancing + singles experience**
**🍀 Late night = Full St. Paddy’s party with mainstream club music**
AI + Streaming: Practical Architectures That Work
We're excited to bring the community together for an evening of learning and connection!
Come support your fellow developers, learn something new, and meet others who are passionate about search, observability, and security.
**Date and Time:**
Thursday, March, 12th from 5:30-7:30 pm
**Agenda:**
* 5:30 pm: Doors open; say hi, grab a seat, and eat some food.
* 6:00 pm: Building Agentic AI on ELK stack, by **Gleb Gadyatskiy**, Principal Engineer at PointClickCare
* 6:30 pm: Q&A
* 6:40 pm: "One Does Not Simply Query a Stream", by **Viktor Gamov** is a Principal Developer Advocate at Confluent
* 7:10 pm: Q&A
* 7:20-7:30 pm: Networking & refreshments
**Talk Abstracts:**
**"Building Agentic AI on ELK stack"**
Story how I built AI Agent using pure ELK + LLM to automate incidents investigations
1. What is AI Agent, ELK and why I decided to build AI Agent using only ELK
2. Building simple AI Agent using pure Logstash pipelines
3. Building advance AI Agent using Ruby plugin
4. Connecting AI Agent to Elastic AI Assistant
**Gleb Gadyatskiy** is a Principal Engineer at PointClickCare. He is a part of the Infrastructure Architecture team and describes his role as “the first line in attack and the last line in defense”. Gleb provides support for all teams to aggregate logs from various apps into Elasticsearch, use AI to get insights from logs and actively promotes Elastic stack in PointClickCare. Gleb enjoys outdoor traveling with his wife and two kids in a camper.
**"One Does Not Simply Query a Stream"**
Streaming data with Apache Kafka® has become the backbone of modern applications. While streams are ideal for continuous data flow, they lack built-in querying capabilities. Unlike databases with indexed lookups, Kafka’s append-only logs are designed for high-throughput processing—not for on-demand queries. This necessitates additional infrastructure to query streaming data effectively. Traditional approaches replicate stream data into external stores: relational databases like PostgreSQL for operational queries, object storage like S3 accessed via Flink, Spark, or Trino for analytics, and Elasticsearch for full-text search and log analytics. Each serves a purpose—but they also introduce silos, schema mismatches, freshness issues, and complex ETL pipelines that increase system fragility. In this session, we’ll explore solutions that aim to unify operational, analytical, and search workloads across real-time data. We'll demonstrate stream processing with Kafka Streams, Apache Flink®, and SQL engines; real-time analytics with Apache Pinot®; search capabilities with Elasticsearch; and modern lakehouse approaches using Apache Iceberg® with Tableflow to represent Kafka topics as queryable tables. While there's no one-size-fits-all solution, understanding the tools and trade-offs will help you design more robust and flexible architectures.
**Viktor Gamov** is a Principal Developer Advocate at Confluent, founded by the original creators of Apache Kafka®. With a rich background in implementing and advocating for distributed systems and cloud-native architectures, Viktor excels in open-source technologies. He is passionate about assisting architects, developers, and operators in crafting systems that are not only low in latency and scalable but also highly available.

Making Moves: Small-Group Coaching for Women in Product
## Hey Columbus WIP peeps!
## Are you ready for an event that actually gives you what you asked for??
**\-\-\-\-\-\-**
**A Small-group coaching conversations for women in product navigating growth, leadership, and career decisions.**
**March 10 \| 5:30–8:00 PM**
**Rev1 -- NEW SPACE**
**330 Rush Alley #100**
**Parking Options:**
• **Rev1 at The Peninsula**
• **Starling St. Garage South** – 377 W. Capital St.
• **LAZ Parking (COSI)** – 50 Belle St.
• **LAZ Parking Limited** – 375 W. State St.
• **Veterans Memorial Lot** – 300 W. Broad St.
• **Metered Street Parking**
**What moves are you making?**
A promotion you’re working toward.
A role change you’re considering.
A bigger leadership opportunity.
A conversation that needs to happen.
A decision that’s been sitting in the back of your mind.
For our Q1 Women in Product Columbus event, we’re creating space to actually work through those moments.
**Making Moves** is an evening of focused, facilitated coaching conversations with experienced mentors from our local product community. This isn’t a panel. It’s not passive networking. It’s small-group dialogue designed to be thoughtful, practical, and worth your time.
Here’s how it will work:
• You’ll choose a topic that reflects what you’re navigating right now
• You’ll join a small coaching circle (5–7 participants)
• Each circle is led by a mentor who has lived experience in that area
• We’ll run two rounds so you can go deeper or explore a second conversation
### Coaching Topics:
• Communicating the Value of Your Work (or Team)
• Career Transitions & What’s Next
• Growing Into Leadership
• Staying Relevant as Technology (and AI) Changes
• Getting Alignment and Decisions from Leadership
Our goal is simple: you leave with clearer thinking, practical perspective, and at least one next step you feel confident about.
Space in each circle will be limited to keep conversations meaningful.
If this sounds like the kind of room you’ve been wanting to be in, we’d love to see you on March 10.
RSVP here! [https://community.womenpm.org/c/all-local-events/making-moves-a-columbus-wip-event](https://community.womenpm.org/c/all-local-events/making-moves-a-columbus-wip-event "https://community.womenpm.org/c/all-local-events/making-moves-a-columbus-wip-event")
