What two hours with Anthropic's agent team taught me about building AI
Anthropic ran a workshop on their Agent SDK. Five principles emerged that match everything I've seen building production agents — and one that changed how I'll build them next.
You're not a 10x engineer. You're an orchestrator, and that's harder
The best developers aren't writing code faster. They're directing AI agents, making architectural judgements, and maintaining the context that machines can't hold. The role hasn't been eliminated. It's evolved into something more valuable.
AI made developers 19% slower. Here's what they were doing wrong
The most rigorous study on AI coding tools found a surprising result. But the real insight isn't the headline — it's that the gap between using AI and using AI well is enormous, and closeable.
Agentic AI in 2026: what actually works in production
Agentic AI is moving from slides to production. The teams getting it right share specific patterns around scope, tooling, and human oversight. Here's what I've learned building agents that actually ship.
