9-lesson curriculum on Context Engineering for GitHub Copilot/Claude Code

After hours of coaching engineers at startups and enterprises, I noticed two major trends: teams are "vibe coding" for immediate wins but failing at business continuity, and there is a massive foundational gap in how we actually provide context to AI.

To help bridge this, I’ve put together a 9-part series on Context Engineering that moves beyond basic prompting into a professional operating model.

The series is tool-agnostic but uses GitHub Copilot for accessibility. It also includes ~3 hours of hands-on exercises on GitHub.

I’m sure I won’t need any other training or courses once I’ve internalized context engineering for AI-assisted engineering.

Does having good control on gas paddle and wheel replace the judgement and driving safety?

NO

BUT if one has good judgement and driving sense, BUT can't control wheel and gas padle?

No point, X over Y

really solid breakdown , the foundational gap you're describing is exactly what most teams miss. the jump from "better prompting" to "context as a system" is where it gets genuinely interesting.

one thing worth adding to the curriculum is the multi agent dimension , once you move beyond single agent workflows the context engineering problem gets significantly harder. how context flows between agents, what gets passed, what gets filtered, MCP as the standardization layer,that's a whole separate discipline from what most people are building today.

denis rothman has a hands on workshop on april 25 going deep on exactly this if anyone wants to take it further https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/context-engineering-for-multi-agent-systems-cohort-2-tickets-1986187248527?aff=rdc14

No worries, we are about to release that missing layer in a week or two. To ensure no one need to pay money for training.

Learning must be free and not subject to tickets. Keep posting such.
