What are you thinking about for the new best practices for software engineering?
- simonw 8mo agoThat's the question I'm hoping to answer as I write the rest of this guide, which I expect to take several months: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/23/agentic-engineering-patterns/ https://simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/23/agentic-engineering-pa...

Mine is a Socrate Agent that leads the developer, does not write their code, but guides them to become a better developer. It completely opposite the direction the larger industry seems to be going. Augmented synergy between the AI and developer, not the AI coding and the human overseeing.
