AI coding agents like Claude Code can now write code faster than most engineering teams can plan, review, test, or ship it. That speed exposes a problem: our software development lifecycle was designed for a world where writing code was the expensive part. Anthropic's new free course, The AI-Native SDLC Playbook , is a practical guide to redesigning that lifecycle around agents without giving up human accountability. Here's what it covers and why it's worth your time. The problem: the bottleneck moved When agents speed up the build phase, the work doesn't disappear. It piles up somewhere else. The course lists three things that happen: Bottlenecks move to the stages around build: planning, review, and deployment. Manual review stops working. A security team sized for human output either builds a queue or lets code through without a proper review. Governance costs spike. Weekly or monthly exception committees can't keep up with how much agents produce. T...
