Agentic Development

The Red, Green, Refactor With an AI in the Loop post introduced what I call an Autonomous Execution Specification (AES), and the post on mARCH, my Agentic Release Cycle Harness,...

In high-frequency trading, the firms that win are not the ones with the best algorithm alone. They are the ones who figured out that the algorithm is only part of...

Up until now, I have explored how to work more effectively with an autonomous agent: writing specifications with enough precision that the agent has something real to execute against, structuring...

The quality of specification determines the quality of execution. This idea appears in the Red, Green, Refactor post, which framed it as the red phase of test-driven development (TDD) applied...

Marching orders, automated.

There is a specific pull toward starting with code. Requirements arrive with enough shape to begin, the architecture is familiar, and writing code gives you something concrete to hold, something...

Test-Driven Development (TDD) rests on a deceptively simple mantra: Red goes to Green goes to Refactor. Write a failing test, make it pass, then clean it up. Repeat.

Welcome to the Agentic Development section of this blog. This is where I explore building software systems that use AI agents to reason about problems, make decisions, and take action...
