A fun, fast-paced dive into two of dev's biggest trends and how to actually own the code they produce. FastAPI is everywhere. Agentic coding is everywhere. But put them together without guardrails and you end up with code you don't understand, can't own, and didn't really write. This video is about doing it differently, using spec-driven development to keep the human in the loop at every step. We build AgentClinic (a FastAPI app for AI agents in need of a break from their humans) using Claude Code, PyCharm, and the Astral toolchain: uv, ruff, and ty.) The workflow: start with a project constitution, mission, tech stack, roadmap, then move feature by feature with specs before implementation, validation before commits, and re-planning between sprints. Small steps, intentional decisions, and a codebase you can genuinely call yours. Along the way: PyCharm's FastAPI project wizard, Claude Code with the Astral skills marketplace, run/debug configurations, the commit diff view as a code review tool, and a stretch run at a full MVP from a single prompt (because sometimes the boss wants it tomorrow). Speed is easy. Ownership is the hard part. This is how you get both.
