Agent this, harness that, notebooks are dead, context engineer what!
Agent harnesses are all the rage right now and, although the hype is a lot, understanding what they are, how to use them, and even how to build them is a critical skill for working with AI agents.
And now you can build them in notebooks!
Join Vincent Warmerdam (Marimo) and Hugo Bowne-Anderson (VG) for a live conversation and demos of how you can get started orchestrating agent harnesses today using agent skills, sandbox, notebooks, python scripts, and tools like marimo.
They'll dive into what the spectrum from vibe coding to production grade software looks like and how it can be developed in reproducible notebooks that are also scripts.
What We'll Cover
Vibecoding in practice and why "slow is smooth and smooth is fast": What Vincent is actually building and whether it's unlocking new ideas or just speeding up old ones.
Skill anxiety: Does vibecoding help or hurt the anxiety that comes with learning new technical skills?
Why notebooks over scripts: How notebooks play with AI assistants and why interactivity changes the coding experience.
Tools and tradeoffs: The real differences between skills, slash commands, widgets, notebooks, harnesses, and AGENTS.md. What to use and when.
Challenges with AI-assisted coding: From bad code and horrible conversations to agents going off and doing insane things.
Simple vs easy: The tradeoff when AI can generate complex solutions instantly.
