Coaching
Sixty focused minutes on your codebase, in your tools. Walk away with a working AI workflow and the files to keep using it — not a reading list.

Done with you,
not just taught.
A Training Pack is the self-serve on-ramp. When you'd rather have the operator in the room — fixing your stack, teaching your group, or steering your team — there are three higher-touch doors. Same person who ships games and AI products for a living, working on your actual tools.
Group Workshops
The operator in your room, teaching your whole group hands-on — on the tools they already use, or the PickBits University curriculum taught live instead of read alone.

Multi-week engagements that embed AI workflows into how your IT or ops team actually works — 2–5× output by automating the busywork.
See consulting → Consulting · for teams
2–5× your team's output.
You're under pressure to deliver more with the same headcount. Status reports, alert queues, manual documentation, repetitive tickets — your team's time is consumed by work AI can handle. We identify, build, and embed the workflows that cut that overhead, so your people focus on what actually moves the needle.

# PR Review — Rails API
You are reviewing a pull request for a Rails 7 API.
Focus on:
- N+1 queries (check includes/preload)
- Missing index migrations
- Serializer field exposure (no internal IDs)
- RSpec coverage for new controller actions
Format as:
## Summary (1–2 sentences)
## Issues (blocking / non-blocking)
## Nits (style, naming)Tool configs
Copilot, Cursor, Claude — whatever you run. Optimized settings, integration patterns, and the rules files that make them behave on your codebase.
.cursorrules
# Cursor Rules — React + TypeScript
You are an expert in React 18, TypeScript, Tailwind.
Conventions:
- Functional components with hooks only
- Prefer server components (Next.js 14)
- Zod for runtime validation at API boundaries
- Co-locate tests: Button.tsx → Button.test.tsx
Never:
- Use `any` — use `unknown` and narrow
- Leave console.log in committed codeWritten playbook
A step-by-step plan documenting everything we built — clear enough to follow without us, shareable with your team.

# Playbook — Maria, Senior DevOps
# Stack: Terraform + AWS + GitHub Actions
## What We Built
1. IaC Review Prompt — catches security groups,
missing tags, drift risk before apply
2. CI Pipeline Generator — service name in,
deploy workflow w/ staging gate out
3. Incident Runbook Writer — post-mortems
into on-call runbooks
## Action Items (This Week)
☑ Add IaC review prompt to shared vault
☑ Test pipeline gen on billing-service
☐ Share runbook writer with on-call lead7 days async support

You · Day 2
The PR review prompt keeps flagging our internal ID format as a security issue. Can we exclude fields ending in _ref_id?PickBits · Day 2
Good catch. Add this under the serializer section: Exception: fields matching *_ref_id are internal reference keys, safe to expose. Updated file attached — also patched your debug prompt with the same list.You · Day 5

Group Workshops · for groups, in person
Teach the whole room at once.
Coaching levels up one person; consulting is us building it into your team. A workshop is the operator in your room, teaching your whole group hands-on — on the AI tools they already run, or the PickBits University curriculum delivered live as a class instead of read alone. On-site or remote, scoped to your stack and your day.
01
Custom tool workshop
A hands-on session on the tools your group actually uses — Claude Code, VS Code, GitHub Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT — worked through on your real tasks, not toy demos.
02
University, taught live
Any PickBits University track — Vibe Coder, Field Guides, Vibe Management, Solo Business — delivered as a live class, with Q&A and your team's real work done in the room.
03
On-site or remote
We come to you, or run it live over video for a distributed team. Half-day or full-day formats, sized to the group.
04
Everyone keeps the materials
The group walks out with the prompt vaults, configs, and playbooks from the session — yours to keep and extend after we leave.
