< Day 7 — Tuesday, Feb 24 >
Jigs & Reliability
Learning Targets
Knowledge
- Jigs concept — the gap between demo and reliable system
- Making AI workflows reproducible
- Edge cases and real data flows
Skills
- Identifying fragile workflows in your app
- Building with reliability in mind
- Hardening from demo to tool
Mindset
- Demo → system thinking
- It works every time ≠ it works when I demo it
Today’s Schedule
| Time | Block | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| 8:30 AM | Morning Exercise | Jigs prep: identify one workflow in your app that needs to work reliably every time. Describe what could go wrong. Post in #hds-general. |
| By 9:30 AM | Exercise Due | Post in #hds-general |
| 10:00–10:45 AM | Group Session | Quick sharing: “Where is your app after yesterday? What’s working? What’s fragile?” Frame jigs concept before Justin arrives. |
| 10:45–11:00 AM | Break | |
| 11:00 AM–12:00 PM | Guest Speaker | Justin Massa — Jigs: making AI workflows reproducible and reliable. Students have apps in progress, so the talk lands on concrete projects. Q&A. |
| 12:00–1:00 PM | Lunch | |
| 1:00–3:00 PM | Build Time | Build with jigs thinking fresh in mind. Apps start getting serious — reliability, edge cases, real data flows. |
| 3:00 PM | Deliverable | Post PRD with reliability/jigs considerations + new build in Slack. Push to GitHub. |
| 3:30–4:30 PM | Group Debrief | Share hardening progress. What jigs did you apply? |
