Summary

Follow-on to the SRE "Reliability Nightmares" coloring book, applying the same creative format to AI-assisted development patterns.

Concept

  • Same setting: Gino's restaurant
  • Same characters: Leo, Cookie Cache
  • New domain: AI-assisted development patterns
  • Target audience: Software engineers and engineering leaders

The Five Challenges

Challenge Pattern Visual Metaphor
1. Codebase Agent CBA definition Master recipe book vs individual recipes
2. Memory System Modular context Permanent reference cards vs forgetting each shift
3. Self-Review Reflection Quality gate Chef tasting before serving
4. Proactive GHA Workflows Automation Automated prep work vs manual everything
5. Issue-to-PR End-to-end automation 20-min ceremony vs 5-min fix

Script Contents

  • 26-page structure (matching original)
  • Page-by-page narrative with dialog
  • Visual direction notes for illustrator
  • Self-assessment scoring (1-5 scale per challenge)
  • Production notes

Next Steps

  • Review script for accuracy and tone
  • Engage illustrator (Wildfire if available)
  • Produce PDF/interactive versions
