AI Coding models & tools are commoditising. The context flywheel turns that into a moat. One investment → four compounding returns: agent quality, deeper expertise, team learning, org alignment. The teams that wins won't have the best AI. They'll have the best context. tessl.io/blog/the-context-fl…

What if sites were not only multi-cloud but also multi-framework? Would agents be able to maintain functionality across two stacks? #concurrentcd #php

Most companies roll out AI coding like this: “Here’s the tools. Engineering, figure it out.” @patrickdebois says that’s why it stalls. A software factory needs a business decision and an owner. Episode 2 of After the Last Engineer. Youtube -> youtube.com/watch?v=FnCnv2tG…

I am thrilled to tell you that Swamp Club has raised $7m in seed funding from @AmplifyPartners, Encoded Ventures, @jesserobbins, and @stolinski. Swamp is a platform for building AI systems from repeatable behaviors, rather than from token-hungry agent-centric designs. More exciting to me than the money (which I'm stoked about,) or the product itself (which continues to surprise and delight me every day,) is the incredible group of people who have started solving real, practical, everyday problems with Swamp. They teach me new and exciting things about how to build with AI every day. I'm grateful to my co-founders, who have poured every ounce of their creativity, passion, and intelligence into Swamp. I'm grateful to our users and customers (big and small) - there is no greater gift you can give to an entrepreneur than the validation that comes with voting with your wallets. And I'm grateful to our investors, who see the opportunity we see, and want to make it happen with us. It's such a cliche to say that there has never been a better time to build - but really, it feels like there has never been a better time to build. Come join the Club. swamp-club.com/press/swamp-u…

If you’re in Antwerp for Devoxx week, join us for an evening exploring what happens around the coding agent as software factories become real. @patrickdebois from @tessl_io and @BSadogursk88555 from Port.io are getting together for a fireside chat on AI Software Factories: Loops Within Loops. The basic software factory loop is becoming familiar: → Spec in → Agent works in a sandbox → Verified code out But that’s only the inner loop..What happens when you connect it to prod? How do incidents, ownership, context, guardrails and feedback from the real world determine what agents should build next - and what actually gets shipped? Patrick will bring the perspective of context and harness engineering inside the factory, while Baruch explores the outer loop around it and the emerging agentic software delivery lifecycle. 📍 DE WINKELHAAK, Antwerp 🥂 Drinks & conversation from 18:30 🎙️ Fireside chat + Q&A at 19:15 🍻 More conversation afterwards Food, drinks, technical discussion and plenty of time to meet other people building at the edge of AI-native software development. Seats are limited - RSVP here: luma.com/p4lv4ct5

Review isn’t the bottleneck, dealing with Risk is. You’ll hit review good enough, then you need to start thinking risk. Determine on what changes what risk profile occurs and then mitigate the impact. AI factories don’t become autonomous by making review perfect but by making mistakes survivable.

In the Agentic AI race, everyone’s picking a winner. Before you pick yours, ask @patrickdebois. The “Godfather of DevOps” and founder of DevOpsDays joins @mitchellashley, VP & Practice Lead, Software Lifecycle Engineering at @TheFuturumGroup, for a live Ask Me Anything at DevOps Experience 2026. No slides. No scripted presentation. Just a live conversation and your questions on Agentic AI, DevOps and where the industry is headed next. 📅 September 24, 2026 ⏰ 11:30 AM ET 💻 Free and virtual Save your spot: buff.ly/47Xhgnq #DevOps #DevOpsExperience2026 #AgenticAI #AMA #Techstrong

Hey my @Devoxx peeps! I am sitting down with the one, the only @patrickdebois to discuss the agentic software factory and the agentic SDLC in Antwerp on October 6th! Don't miss it (we'll also feed you, thanks to @tweetsbyport!). Register here: luma.com/p4lv4ct5?tk=dfF5KI

Trying to clarify different AI software factory loops: (blogpost pending) - production loops: these act on the code - maintenance loops: keeps the line running within the factory rules - feedback loops: changes the rules what the factory decides Thoughts are welcome!

Incredible proud to be presenting again at AIE SF. We continue the story from the Context Development Lifecycle and Harnesses and go scaling it out into the org. Big thanks @aiDotEngineer for this first class event! Really looking forward to it. ai.engineer/worldsfair/sched…

llm= road, coding agent = car, pilot = coder, context = fuel . What else would you add to the metaphor?

Context may be the most under-engineered layer in AI coding today. In this keynote, @patrickdebois, argues that if agents are driven by prompts, rules, and memory, then context deserves the same rigor we already give code. youtube.com/watch?v=bSG9wUYa…

Background Agents Summit schedule looking 🔥 The first event of it's kind to explore what agents throughout the SDLC look like. Presented by the companies actually doing it today. @patrickdebois @pelikhan @colemurray @leodido @csweichel @MattJamesBoyle @suhailpatel @casualzach_
