Transform Your SDLC
For the AI Era.
Samuh helps your organization align its software development lifecycle with AI development practices. Learn compound engineering — where each feature makes the next one easier, and a single developer can do the work of five.
The Shift in Software Development
Traditional SDLC
- •Each feature makes the next one harder
- •More code = more complexity, dependencies, edge cases
- •Developer writes code directly
- •Linear productivity over time
- •Knowledge stays in developers' heads
AI Development Lifecycle
- ✓Each feature makes the next one easier
- ✓Learnings compound — bugs, patterns, insights reused
- ✓AI agent executes the work
- ✓Compounding productivity — 1 developer = 5 developers
- ✓Knowledge captured in system, accessible to everyone
"Today, if your AI is used right, a single developer can do the work of five developers from a few years ago. They just need a good system to harness its power."
— Dan Shipper, Every.to
The Compound Engineering Loop
AI development isn't just faster coding — it's a fundamentally different workflow. 80% of the time is spent on planning and review. 20% on work and compounding.
PLAN
Research thoroughly, synthesize findings, create detailed specifications. The quality of your plan determines the quality of your outcome.
Time investment: ~40% • Human-driven
WORK
AI agent writes the code, runs the tests, handles the implementation. The developer orchestrates, not executes.
Time investment: ~10% • AI-driven
ASSESS
Review the output with specialized agents for security, performance, accessibility, and quality. Identify patterns and edge cases.
Time investment: ~40% • Human + AI collaboration
COMPOUND
Capture learnings. Document patterns. Update your knowledge base. Make the next cycle faster and better than this one.
Time investment: ~10% • Human-driven
The Compounding Effect
Each cycle doesn't just deliver a feature — it improves your entire system. The 10th feature is easier than the 5th. The 20th is easier than the 10th.
What Your Team Will Learn
Each participant builds and deploys a real application using the compound engineering loop — experiencing firsthand how AI transforms the development lifecycle.
By the End of the Program:
- → Each participant has deployed a functional application using AI agents
- → Your team understands the 4-step compound engineering loop intimately
- → You have a working knowledge base system for continued learning
- → Your organization can meaningfully evaluate AI development initiatives
- → Leadership knows how to plan, review, and compound — not just code
- → You understand what 1 developer = 5 developers actually means in practice
Hands-on experience with Claude Code, AI agents, and modern compound engineering tooling
Learn to spend 80% of time on plan & assess, letting AI handle the work
Shift from writing code to orchestrating AI, from linear to compounding productivity

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from traditional SDLC training?
This isn't theory — it's practice. Participants don't learn about compound engineering, they do it. Each person builds and deploys a real application using AI agents, experiencing the full 4-step loop.
Who should attend from our organization?
Technical leaders, engineering managers, CTOs, and product leaders who shape development practices. Up to 15 participants per cohort. Cross-functional teams get the most value.
Do participants need to know how to code?
No. The AI writes the code. Participants need to know how to plan, review, and orchestrate — skills that leaders already have. If you can describe what you want in plain language, you can build it.
What tools will we use?
Primarily Claude Code and AI agents for development. We'll also introduce knowledge base systems, review agents, and other compound engineering tools. All tools and accounts are provided.
What happens after the program?
You get 90 days of follow-up support and access to a private team community. More importantly, you have a working compound engineering system that keeps improving with each project.
How is Samuh different from Karta?
Karta is our individual program — open enrollment, fixed curriculum, one instructor. Samuh is private to your organization, customized to your development practices, on-site, with two instructors.
