The Agentic Dev Loop
Writing about the systems, decisions, and infrastructure teams need when agents become the primary authors of code.
How do I do the work?
Traditional development. You write code, run tests, debug. The entire loop runs through your hands.
The developer era
How do I watch myself work?
AI-assisted development. You're still typing, but observing suggestions and guiding the AI. Half doing, half watching.
The copilot era
How do I watch the agents work?
Agentic development. You're directing and reviewing, not writing. Agents execute. You orchestrate, verify, and course-correct.
