Context Is the New Code — Patrick Debois, Tessl

Patrick Debois argues that as AI coding agents become more capable, the context that drives them—prompts, rules, and memory—needs its own engineering discipline, akin to how we manage code. He introduces the Context Development Lifecycle (Generate, Evaluate, Distribute, and Observe) to make context a shared, repeatable, and improvable part of software delivery, creating a flywheel effect where better context leads to better agent output and continuous improvement.

Getting Humans Out of the Way: How to Work with Teams of Agents

Rob Ennals, creator of Broomy, discusses a paradigm shift in working with AI coding agents: moving away from micromanagement towards orchestrating teams of parallel agents. The key is to design robust, automated validation systems and reshape the development environment to empower agents to work autonomously, efficiently, and at scale.

Running AI Engineer with AI — swyx

Swyx, co-founder of the AI Engineer conference, reveals how his "tiny team" of nine people leverages AI agents like Cognition's Devin and Town Assistant to manage a multi-million dollar business and organize large-scale events. He shares practical examples of how agents have transformed their workflow, from converting Figma designs to pixel-perfect websites to managing complex conference schedules and even performing personal research tasks, arguing for a future focused on "Agent Experience" (AX).
