What Does an AI Engineering Manager's 8am Coffee Taste Like Today?

It is 8am, the coffee is brewing, and three agentic teams have been shipping since you went to bed. You have not written a line of code. This one is hands-on: you build and direct agentic product teams with Claude Code in the room. Never opened a terminal? You will here, for the first time, and it will not be scary.

You leave with a working setup on your own machine, the free AI toolkit wired into it, and a morning routine that starts with triage instead of standup prep.

Coffee's not even finished and three agentic teams have been shipping since the attendee went to sleep. This is the hands-on one: people who've never opened a terminal do it here, live, directing an agentic team inside the session instead of watching a slide about one.

Built for CTOs and engineering managers already living that sentence, waking up to work three teams did overnight and not yet sure whether to feel relieved or worried. The takeaway is a working setup on their own machine, wired to the free AI toolkit, so triage starts before the next standup instead of after it.
