Descriptions:
Cole Medin runs a live, audience-driven coding challenge where viewers vote in real time — via a custom word-cloud app — on what he builds during the stream. The result is an unscripted look at his full AI coding workflow, from initial structure planning through to end-to-end validation with an agent browser.
A significant portion of the stream covers the mechanics of Medin’s workflow: steering documents (global rules and context files that guide the coding agent), structure plans generated before writing any code, and iterative refinement of those plans when the agent’s initial output is missing features like token streaming. He uses Pydantic AI as his agent framework and references the Anthropic long-running agent harness for the voting application he built ahead of the stream.
The live format makes visible the kinds of decisions and tradeoffs that polished tutorials typically skip — when to accept a structure plan versus push back, how validation strategy fits into planning, and how to move quickly without sacrificing correctness. Viewers comfortable with AI-assisted development will find this a practical reference for how an experienced practitioner structures a complete build session.
