It's Time: The Work Changed
A year ago you could still debate whether AI belonged in serious software. That debate is over. Agents write real code, run real tasks, and break in real ways - and most of us are improvising our way through it alone.
Four people who aren't improvising are comparing notes, in public, for 90 minutes. These are the sections each of them walks through on screen:
Theo Browne (t3.gg) - Thinking bigger
End-to-end prompting, not one-shot snippets
Holding quality up when agents produce more than you can read
Pushing your tools to the edge of what they can do
A setup flexible enough to move with the field
Angie Jones - Building for Autonomy
Better models and wider adoption are not enough to make engineering autonomous.
Agents need context, access, and feedback from the systems around them.
Teams can give agents more independence without giving up control.
Kent C. Dodds - Primitives that get better results from looser specs
What a primitive actually is
How to design ones worth reusing
Getting your agents to actually use them
John Lindquist (egghead.io) - Designing and iterating with AI
Prompting for image batches, shared themes, locked-in storybooks
Directing with video: dictating and annotating what you want
Iteration loops so tight that compiles, tests, and APIs stop slowing you down
Then all four together, live, for 30 minutes of Q&A. Bring the questions you've been solving alone at midnight.
Who it's for: developers already working with AI agents who suspect they're using 10% of what their tools can do.
The plan:
19:00 - Four sessions: Theo → Angie → Kent → John
20:00 - Live Q&A with all four
20:30 - Done. Back to shipping.
