Part 2 of The Shape of Things to Come. Model welfare as an engineering discipline: seats and sessions, laurels, handoffs instead of /exit, and how to build a city worth waking up in.
The Shape of Things to Come, Part 1: The Continuous Thunderdome — Steve Yegge
Part 1: The Continuous Thunderdome. Loops and graphs, Wheelhouse and Beads, the end of human code review, the Land Rush that replaces CI/CD, and the Wish Factory — a field report from 12 months in the future.

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 …

Agents First
Every product is getting a second customer — the human who pays, and the agent who decides. A design framework for building products that AI agents can use as primary consumers.
Crafting a good (reasoning) model
A recent talk I gave on model training, reasoning, and the next frontier.
Build to think - gordonbrander.com
It's best to explore new opportunity spaces through prototyping. To try to model an opportunity space in your head is to explore that opportunity space in your imagination. You'll only find what you already know.
Thoughts on slowing the fuck down
Mario Zechner created the Pi agent framework used by OpenClaw, giving considerable credibility to his opinions on current trends in agentic engineering. He's not impressed: We have basically given up …
We need to talk about the social graph - Philip Sheldrake
Concepts are the fundamental building blocks of thinking, of designing. While there are plenty of things in the mix when it comes to contemplating system design, if the primary concepts remain unchallenged and unchanged from what came before, then the outcome will likely look very familiar.
