AI development methodologies compared: C², BMAD, Shape Up, AI-DLC and more
An honest comparison of the methodologies for building with AI agents — native rule files, BMAD, HumanLayer's ACE, Matt Pocock's workflow, Packmind, Shape Up, AWS AI-DLC, and C² — with a side-by-side table and guidance on which to choose.

An alternative to Agile for AI-native teams
Agile coordinated human teams at human speed. With AI agents in the loop, the constraint moves from execution to direction — and agile's ceremonies turn into drag. Here's the alternative, and what to keep.

C² vs BMAD: two ways to build with AI agents
BMAD and C² both add discipline to building software with AI agents — but BMAD orchestrates specialised personas through a heavier SDLC, while C² is a lighter, agent-agnostic method centred on a version-controlled contextbase that compounds. A head-to-head.
