"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

Long-Running Agents

"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

Agent Harness Engineering

A coding agent is the model plus everything you build around it. Harness engineering treats that scaffolding as a real artifact, and it tightens every time the agent slips.

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."

"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

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” Reading @addyosmani.bsky.social’s new book

A copy of “Web Performance Engineering in the Age of AI” by Addy Osmani placed on a light wooden surface, showing the cover with a greyhound illustration and a clean, minimalist design.An open book showing Chapter 3 titled “AI-Generated Code and the Performance Paradox,” with printed text discussing how AI-generated code can be functional but not always optimized for performance.An open book showing Chapter 12 titled “Web Performance Case Studies and Success Stories,” with text describing real-world examples of performance optimization and business impact.

AI users are working longer because, for the first time, our tools can finally keep pace with our imagination. When output is cheap, your greatest leverage isn't how much you build, but the taste to know what is worth building - and the rest required to see the difference.
