Writing about Agentic Engineering Patterns
Summary
A software engineer is creating a collection of documented patterns for agentic engineering, which refers to using coding agents (AI tools that can generate, execute, and iterate on code independently) to help professional developers work faster and better. The project will be published as a series of chapters on a blog, inspired by classic design pattern documentation, with the first two chapters covering how cheap code generation changes software development and how test-first development (TDD) helps agents write better code.
