Really interesting post by Simon Willison on StrongDM’s approach to AI-driven software development. In an experiment, teams using AI agents “felt” faster, but the actual measured cycle time for delivering software actually increased. There appears to be a clear disconnect between perceptions and outcomes when it’s actually measured. Their process enforces two strict rules: 1. Humans do not write code 2. Humans do not review code However, rather than optimising each individuals productivity like a lot of organisations are doing, StrongDM reframed their process around monitoring well defined scenarios and focused on whether they are met consistently at scale, rather than focusing on a humans ability to review AI edits of the codebase. Instead, they validate the behaviour of the app in an extensive testing environment built from cloned versions of API’s like Okta, Jira, Slack and G-Suite. The clones are generated from existing documentation, which allows iterations at a lower cost. The takeaway for me, is that “time saved by an AI” is still not a good measure of success, and having humans review AI code does not necessarily translate into robust outputs. What I took from this, is that acceptance testing, checking expected behaviour and monitoring end-to-end results still matters more than ever, regardless of who is writing the code. For teams experimenting with AI in engineering workflows, this highlights the importance of designing around reliable and objective measures of delivery, rather than this subjective view of speed everyone is obsessed with.

Integrating AI into your coding workflow just reached a new level. Anthropic recently introduced Agent Teams for Claude Code, and it’s a massive shift in how we think about AI orchestration. If you’ve been using Subagents, you know they are great for "hub-and-spoke" delegation. But Agent Teams move us into true peer-to-peer collaboration. Here is the breakdown of why this matters: 🏢 Subagents: The Specialist Contractors Think of a subagent as a specialist you hire for a one-off task. You give them a brief, they go into a private room, do the work, and bring you back a summary. Workflow: Linear / Hub-and-Spoke. Communication: They only talk to you (the lead). Context: Isolated. They don't know what other subagents are doing. Best for: Parallelizing simple, independent tasks (e.g., "Research these 3 libraries separately"). 🤝 Agent Teams: The High-Performance Squad An Agent Team is a group of independent Claude sessions working in a shared environment. They don’t just report to you; they collaborate with each other. Workflow: Collaborative / Mesh. Communication: Teammates can direct-message each other, challenge findings, and share a live task list. Coordination: They can handle dependencies (e.g., Agent B won't start the UI until Agent A defines the API schema). Best for: Complex, "messy" problems like deep debugging, large feature migrations, or architectural design where different perspectives need to "argue" to find the best solution. 💡 The Big Shift The "unlock" here is emergent coordination. In a Team, the Lead Agent doesn't have to micro-manage every step. Teammates can self-assign tasks from a shared backlog and notify each other when blockers are cleared. Which one should you use? Use Subagents to keep your main chat clean and save tokens on focused tasks. Use Agent Teams when you need a "war room" to tackle a complex feature where the left hand needs to know what the right hand is doing.

The comments on my last post were incredible. Many of you pointed out the same thing: best practices aren't dead, but the processes around them aren't keeping up. You're right. And the pace is making it worse. This space is changing weekly. Not quarterly. Not monthly. Weekly. New capabilities, new models, new paradigms — what worked last Tuesday might already be outdated. Now picture this. A company adopts a terminal-based AI coding agent. It's incredibly powerful. One developer figures out a great prompting workflow. Another finds a clever automation. A third discovers how to orchestrate changes across multiple repos. But none of them know what the others are doing. There's no central place for prompts. No shared automations. No way to take what one person learned and make it available to the whole team. Every developer is improvising their own workflow from scratch, every single day. Scale that to ten developers. Twenty. Fifty. You don't have an AI-powered engineering team. You have fifty solo experiments running in parallel, each reinventing the wheel. And the moment you need to orchestrate changes across multiple repositories? The terminal is powerful, but it wasn't designed to be the control room for an entire company's development process. This is the first thing I'm tackling: a layer on top of these AI coding agents that turns individual developer power into team-wide capability. Shared prompts. Shared automations. Multi-repo orchestration. A place where what one person learns, everyone benefits from. The raw tools are extraordinary. But a team needs more than raw tools. It needs a system. More coming soon. In the meantime: how is your team sharing what works with AI coding tools? Or is everyone still figuring it out alone?

Vibe Coding: A New Way to Build Software with AI Are you embracing vibe coding... or holding back on serious development? 🔁 What’s Changing AI coding assistants are no longer a novelty; they’re becoming embedded in everyday engineering workflows. Across teams and customer conversations, one phrase keeps surfacing: vibe coding. Instead of starting with syntax and boilerplate, developers begin with intent. You describe what you want in natural language, the AI generates an initial solution, and you iterate together. Prompting, testing, refactoring, and shaping the final product. The role of the developer shifts from writing every line to orchestrating the build. 📣 So what actually is vibe coding? Vibe coding isn’t about letting AI “take over” development. It’s about collaboration. The AI accelerates implementation. The human provides direction, context, and judgement. This makes engineering less about typing and more about decision-making — choosing architectures, managing trade-offs, and ensuring code holds up in production. 💪 Why Human Expertise Is Still Essential AI can generate code quickly, but it doesn’t understand: - long-term maintainability - edge cases and failure modes - system-wide impacts - business and user context Core skills in architecture, coding principles, and problem-solving are what turn AI-generated output into software that’s reliable, secure, and scalable. ❓ Why It Matters ▶️ Faster prototyping and experimentation ▶️ Lower barriers to turning ideas into working software ▶️ More time for engineers to focus on design, quality, and strategy Used well, vibe coding compresses the distance between idea and execution. Used poorly, it can just as easily introduce technical debt at scale. 📖 What This Means AI-assisted development can dramatically accelerate delivery, but it doesn’t replace engineers who can reason, validate, and take responsibility for what they ship. The future of software development isn’t hands-off automation. It’s human-led, AI-augmented engineering. Don't just keep up with tech.

In 2026 AI-assisted coding is the norm. In many teams, agents generate multi-file changes. AI review runs before a human opens the PR. The productivity debate is mostly over. What’s changing isn’t speed. When engineers wrote changes themselves, they usually understood the trade-offs behind them. That context stayed with the system, even if it wasn’t documented perfectly. With agent-generated changes, that link is weaker. The code is there. The tests pass. Months later, when something needs to change, the team has to work out why it was built that way. It’s not about broken code. It’s about who stands behind the decision. If agents are drafting more of the system, review and ownership can’t stay the same.

AI coding tools are powerful when used in a structured way. Random usage isn't. The Software House's own open-source framework copilot-collections offers a standard 4-step AI development flow. It targets a 30–40% baseline productivity boost for ALL engineers. Adam Polak explains how it works on Effective Delivery (GitHub link included) 👇 https://lnkd.in/dEG75gck

Over the past months I have been exploring what happens when you push AI-assisted coding beyond demos and into something closer to production-level work. A few observations: - Small, clearly bounded tasks provide significant acceleration. - Expanding scope leads to rising hallucinations and shallow correctness. - Passing tests does not imply correct system behaviour. - Prompting tricks matter less than engineering structure. What made the difference wasn’t better prompts, at least in my case. It was treating the tool like a junior engineer, but giving it: - Clear specifications - Tight task boundaries - Explicit acceptance criteria - Review and validation gates My takeaway is that used casually, these tools disappoint, but if used deliberately, they can meaningfully improve execution speed. I’m increasingly convinced the real conversation isn’t whether AI coding works. It’s how we design the guardrails that make it production-safe. I wrote a more detailed breakdown of the experiment here: https://lnkd.in/dRD8DHmF #AI #SoftwareEngineering #AIAssistedDevelopment

AI coding tools without structure don't give IT teams the efficiency benefit they'd expect. At The Software House, we decided to provide that structure by building an AI framework. Presenting copilot-collections that I helped create: It introduces a simple 4-phase workflow for AI-driven development designed to give every developer a 30-40% baseline productivity boost. It sets a clear way of working with AI so teams can move faster without losing consistency or quality. Our CTO, Adam Polak, explains how it works in Effective Delivery 👇 https://lnkd.in/d9JxVypG

“Vibe coding”, building software by describing intent and letting AI generate, refactor, and orchestrate code, is quickly evolving into something more powerful: agentic coding. Systems that don’t just autocomplete code, but reason across files, plan changes, run tests, deploy, monitor, and iterate. If this trajectory continues, we are not just accelerating engineering. We are reshaping the entire product value chain. So who benefits most? Engineers? Product Managers? Designers? Marketeers? And what should product professionals do now to stay ahead? #productmanagement #ai #marketing https://lnkd.in/eZYYmj2n
