What software engineering becomes when AI agents write the code. The harness around the agent, the system that keeps it reliable, and the specs that replace source as the thing you author.

About this series

AI agents can write production code, but only inside a system built for them. This series follows the shift in the engineer's job: from writing the code to building the harness the agent works in, controlling what it can do, shaping what it sees, and writing the specs that become the real source.

Six episodes. The first three are published; four to six are in the works.
