Writing code is cheap now - Agentic Engineering Patterns
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 …

Code Is Cheap Now, And That Changes Everything | Pere Villega
AI coding agents have made code production nearly free. Drawing on insights from Kent Beck, Paul Ford, and Simon Willison, this post argues that the value has shifted from writing code to defining systems — contracts, invariants, SLAs, and verification.

Can agentic coding raise the quality bar?
Five examples of using agentic coding to improve software quality, instead of delivery throughput.
A sufficiently detailed spec is code
Specifications do not address the limitations of agentic coding
Designing agentic loops
Coding agents like Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex CLI represent a genuine step change in how useful LLMs can be for producing working code. These agents can now directly …
Agent Design Is Still Hard
My Agent abstractions keep breaking somewhere I don’t expect.
