Super-Charge Agile
Software Development
with AI

The Passionate Programmer is your gateway to a world of software development excellence with AI, led by David Scott Bernstein and a passionate community of developers. We help you go beyond code to explore the broader application of software principles so you can optimize your interactions with technology and master the art of building maintainable systems. 

Software development is changing—AI is no longer just a tool; it’s a collaborator. But to work effectively with AI, developers need more than just prompting skills. They need a solid foundation in Agile, Extreme Programming, and Systems Thinking—the very skills that have shaped high-quality, adaptable software for decades. As a thought leader in Agile software development, Extreme Programming, and AI-driven workflows, I teach developers, managers, and entrepreneurs how to integrate AI into their work to boost productivity. I will help you master the mindset, techniques, and strategies to build great software with and alongside AI. Sound interesting? Let’s talk. Schedule a free Zoom call with me here.

Meet the Passionate Programmer

Hi I’m David Scott Bernstein and welcome to the Passionate Programmer. I’ve spent the last quarter century of my life helping over 10,000 professional software developers at the world’s top companies build software that is straightforward to extend and verify. These are the very skills developers must possess to teach AI how to build maintainable code. Integrating AI into the Agile software development process has many challenges and the potential for great rewards. Let me guide you through this new territory.

Recent Praise.
