There is so much going on in the realm of Ai Driven Development, that I have a need to write down these observations in a stream. Other people can observe what I find interesting.
Maybe some of these insights will contribute towards a post Maybe not.
I can imagine this page will grow quickly.

How should we position the role of QA in this new era of agents?
How cool would it be to just dump your idea in the agent orchestrator, let it do its thing and observe the output.
Appears that beads is migrating away from SQLite to dolt
People are liking OpenSpec I need to gain experience with this way of working
Seeing linear being mentioned quite a lot. Interested to work with this instead of the Atlassian and Microsoft offerings.
Would be awesome to work in a highly enthusiastic small team and going from reverse Ralphing to forward Ralphing essential business solutions.
Found out about the Jeffrey Emanuel's bespoke version of beads: beads_rust. Example of You don't need all of it

Agentic first impression scale: Oh fuck, oh wow, ahhhhh
Nice article by Angie Jones on skills vs MCP
Use the AskUserQuestion tool for the interview with the user. It's really nice.
JG has (again) mentioned LangChain Github
Via SW became aware of the article Electricity use of AI coding agents
Via JG Thoughtworks reverse engineering
AI/works™ uses AI-enabled reverse engineering to interpret legacy applications and convert them into structured specifications enriched with regulatory, security and industry context. These specifications guide agentic workflows that generate production-grade code, automated tests and deployment pipelines.

…the era of humans writing code is over.
2026 and forward is engineering². Engineering solutions in a looping engineering process.

JG mentioned reverse RW gap analysis SPEC <=> Code. Very interesting, eventual product consent through looping.
LSP tool bootstrapping analysis. Specific LSP tools will be loaded based on repo conditionals. In the case of Go prob. looking for a go.mod file.
Keep the original plan as a verification source after the beads have been implemented.
Every week we discuss some surprising new phenomenon or principle we’ve discovered while coding with 20+ agents.

Jeffrey Emanuel has launched his port of Steve Yegge's beads: beads_rust
I still want to create my own with just plain old SQlite.
I like how Simon Willison quotes people.
