How to keep agents and skills from losing track mid-workflow
Takeaways from Sam Newman's fireside chat with Nathen Harvey, DORA team lead at Google Cloud
A senior engineer’s job is mostly the parts that don’t show up in the diff. Specs. Tests. Reviews. Scope discipline. Refusing to ship what can’t be verified. AI coding agents skip those parts by default. Agent Skills is my attempt to make them not optional.
Securing access isn’t enough. As agents begin calling other agents, enterprises need to secure delegation too.
Plus AI security, the compute arms race, and why eventually there may no longer be an internet for humans
The bet every serious developer needs to make on on their agent stack
Revisiting the PocketOS Incident
Everybody is building agent skills, but not all skills are created equal. Here are some recent research papers that empirically show best practices to build them.
A coding agent is the model plus everything you build around it. Harness engineering treats that scaffolding as a real artifact, and it tightens every time the agent slips.
We overestimate what AI can remember and underestimate what it can orchestrate.
A conversation about running a startup alone, with agents doing the work of a full engineering team
