A founder's story
Don't Let the Robot Push to Main
The new Agile for the agentic age.
They show you the demo. This is the year after: how I ran a team of AI coding agents to build a real app, with the rules I wrote every time something broke.
The free sample chapter is coming soon.

Don't Let the Robot Push to Main
The new Agile for the agentic age
Mark Wetherell
Three rules from the book
Rule 4
The prompt is a user story.
Who it's for, what done looks like, and the fences an AI teammate can't guess.
Rule 7
A check that passes without having run is worse than no check.
Every test fails once, on purpose, before it's trusted.
Rule 9
The agent merges. The human pushes.
Nothing reaches real users that a person didn't send.
The app I always meant to build
I started in accounting, then spent a career building and testing software, much of it on Scrum teams. My family lived the paycheck juggle for years.
PocketSense is the app I always meant to build. I built it with AI agents, and this site is where I write down how.
