My Agent abstractions keep breaking somewhere I don’t expect.
LukeW | Agent Management Interface Patterns
As an increasing number of AI applications evolve to agents doing work for people, agent management becomes a critical part of these product's design. How can p...

The Gap Through Which We Praise the Machine
My current theory of agentic programming: people are amazing at adapting the tools they're given and totally underestimate the extent to which they do it, and the amount of skill we build doing that is an incidental consequence of how badly the tools are designed.

It's Time To Start Preparing APIs for the AI Agent Era
With agentic AI, integrations are no longer static and immutable concepts.

Agents Done Right: A Framework Vision for 2026
Agents choke on context, loop on failures, and dump walls of code for review. It's time to rethink the architecture.

A tale of two Agent Builders
What two competing solutions to the same design problem tell about the future of designing AI interfaces.

Skills, forks, and self-surgery: how agent harnesses grow
Claude Code, NanoClaw, and Pi take radically different approaches to harness extensibility. The tradeoff is always safety vs. agent agency.
