Local agentic coding has gotten great over the past few months
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.
A sufficiently detailed spec is code
Specifications do not address the limitations of agentic coding
No Coding Before 10am | Michael Bloch
Engineering is no longer about writing code. Here is one startup's playbook for building in the AI agent era.
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.
Gas Town’s Agent Patterns, Design Bottlenecks, and Vibecoding at Scale
On agent orchestration patterns, why design and critical thinking are the new bottlenecks, and whether we should let go of looking at code
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.
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 …
The Coding Agent Data Deal
On user data control, coding agents as retrievers, and the value of your coding transcripts
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.
Agentic coding and persistent returns to expertise
Anthropic is an AI safety and research company that's working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems.
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.
