If you’ve ever opened Chrome DevTools, or optimized a page for Core Web Vitals, you’ve used software built by @addyosmani.bsky.social. We start from when he built a web browser from scratch, at 16, through his 14 years at Google, to what he sees working (and not working) building software with AI:

"Engineers should own the outer loop. Build agents you can answer for" - My closing keynote for AI Engineer World's Fair is now up and free to check out.

"The interesting consequence is that the hard part of engineering moved from writing code to deciding whether to trust it, which makes review the most leveraged skill in software right now." More in today's #Radar article by @addyosmani.bsky.social: bit.ly/4oTO571

"Loop engineering is replacing yourself as the person who prompts the agent...However, it’s still early; I’m skeptical, and you absolutely have to be careful about token costs." Check out new #Radar article by @addyosmani.bsky.social to learn more: bit.ly/4oFwiAe

"Long-running agents are what comes next... This post is my attempt to lay out what’s changed, who’s pushing on it, and how an engineer can use long-running agents today without writing the whole thing from scratch." Check out #Radar article by @addyosmani.bsky.social to learn more: bit.ly/4oo0UGA

"We’ve spent the last two years arguing about models. Which one is smartest, which one writes the cleanest React, which one hallucinates less. That conversation is fine as far as it goes, but it’s missing the other half of the system." New #Radar article by @addyosmani.bsky.social: bit.ly/43fulk0

A great article by @addyosmani.bsky.social addyosmani.com/blog/cogniti...

Offload; don't surrender.

"Cognitive offloading is delegating to the AI and still owning the answer. Cognitive surrender is when the AI’s output quietly becomes your output and there is nothing you feel is left to check."

Caught the great @addyosmani.bsky.social this morning. He
along a few others, was featured on a story about Vibe Coding by @bloomberg.com and he had sage statements of course. This man is a legend. You can watch the whole piece :

Cat Wu joined @addyosmani.bsky.social at AI Codecon for a fireside chat on the future of agentic coding and agentic code review, how Anthropic actually uses the tools they’re building, and what skills matter now for developers. Key takeaways on #Radar by @timoreilly.bsky.social: bit.ly/4uqWwID

A worthy article on long running agents by @addyosmani.bsky.social -
Elucidates the architecture and issues involved:

Well-written and immediately effective - and he's got guides to put it into Cursor, Claude Code etc. github.com/addyosmani/a... #ai #agents #coding #cursorai #claudecode Thank you @addyosmani.bsky.social!

"The real problem wasn’t messy code. It was that no one on the team could explain why design decisions had been made or how different parts of the system were supposed to work together. The theory of the system had evaporated." New #Radar article by @addyosmani.bsky.social: bit.ly/41tTNSh

@addyosmani.bsky.social's multi agent experience agrees with my own, going from 2 to 5 parallel agents is a quick way to transform from a judge to a ticket usher.

Software is evolving fast.

My focus hasn’t changed: helping teams improve performance, UX, and conversion

AI generates working code faster than ever… but not optimized for performance

That’s where we add value: from “it works” to “it’s excellent”
