Writing code is cheap now - Agentic Engineering Patterns - Simon Willison's Weblog
The biggest challenge in adopting agentic engineering practices is getting comfortable with the consequences of the fact that writing code is cheap now.
The 8 Levels of Agentic Engineering — Bassim Eledath
AI's coding ability is outpacing our ability to wield it effectively. That gap closes in levels — 8 of them. Here's the progression from tab complete to autonomous agent teams.
Writing about Agentic Engineering Patterns
I’ve started a new project to collect and document Agentic Engineering Patterns—coding practices and patterns to help get the best results out of this new era of coding agent development …

Note on 24th September 2026
The more time I spend working with coding agents, the more convinced I am that they make software engineering even harder. We can do amazing things with them, but unlocking …
Agentic Engineering Patterns - Simon Willison's Weblog
Patterns for getting the best results out of coding agents like Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. See my introduction for more on this project.
Why AI hasn’t replaced software engineers, and won’t
Coding agents as normal technology

Cognition | Agent Trace: Capturing the Context Graph of Code
We’re excited to join in Cursor, Cloudflare, Vercel, git-ai, OpenCode and others in support of [Agent Trace](https://agent-trace.dev/). As described in the spec, Agent Trace is an open, vendor-neutral spec for recording AI contributions alongside human authorship in version-controlled codebases.

Managing Agent Skills with Your Package Manager | pavel.pink
AI coding agents use skills — markdown files that teach them domain-specific tasks. We publish ours as conda packages and manage them with pixi, getting versioning, lockfiles, and supply chain security for free.

Are we evolving from pages to apps to agents?
Recently, Vercel came to London and teamed up with Anthropic’s local chapter to host a skills event.

Coding After Coders: The End of Computer Programming as We Know It
In the era of A.I. agents, many Silicon Valley programmers are now barely programming. Instead, what they’re doing is deeply, deeply weird.
