Hard Parts of Agentic Engineering
Agentic engineering represents a fundamental shift in how software systems are designed and run — the runtime is now the AI model itself, operating across an entire system and network. Core concepts like memory, I/O, and testing have been redefined: context windows replace databases, skills and MCP servers replace traditional APIs, and evals take the place of unit tests. Yet the challenges engineers face remain familiar: managing memory limits, organizing complexity at unprecedented scale, orchestrating parallel agents, and locking down security. To solve these problems effectively, builders must develop a working understanding of how these AI-powered tools actually function beneath the surface.
What You Will Master
- Reframe your mental model — understand how the AI runtime, context window, and network form a new kind of computing environment that replaces traditional system architecture.
- Navigate new patterns confidently — learn how skills, MCP servers, and evals map to the I/O, APIs, and test coverage you already know, so you can move faster with less friction.
- Tackle the hard problems head-on — get practical strategies for memory management, codebase complexity, multi-agent orchestration, and sandboxed security in agentic systems.
- Build with durability — learn why understanding how these tools work under the hood is the key to writing systems that scale and stay maintainable as context demands grow.
Who is this for?
This workshop is for software engineers of all levels who have experience working with coding agents like Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, or Gemini.

Hard Parts of Agentic Engineering
Agentic engineering is rewriting the rules of how software is built — and the builders who understand what's happening under the hood will be the ones who shape what comes next. Build an autonomous agent that takes contextual, meaningful action on your behalf, all without a single click.
