Software Engineering in the Agentic Era

How one engineer and a fleet of AI agents ship real software.

Code got cheap. Judgment did not. This is the field guide we wish we had when we started running about 170 repositories with a handful of humans and a fleet of AI agents: how work gets framed, fanned out, checked, shipped, secured, paid for and announced when typing is no longer the bottleneck.
