Addy Osmani is a Software Engineer at Google working on Google Cloud and Gemini. https://addyosmani.com The shift from conductor to orchestrator: how to coordinate teams of AI coding agents in real-world software workflows. From subagents to Agent Teams to purpose-built orchestration tools, this talk covers the patterns, tools, and discipline required to thrive in the era of agentic engineering.

It is about building the factory that builds your software. Wed, 25 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://addyosmani.com/blog/factory-model/ https://addyosmani.com/blog/factory-model/ Two papers published in early 2026 suggest you might have just made your agent slower, more expensive, and no more accurate. The right mental model is to treat AGENTS.md as a living list of codebase smells you haven't fixed yet, not a permanent configuration.

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://addyosmani.com/blog/14-more-lessons/ https://addyosmani.com/blog/14-more-lessons/ Claude Code now supports agent teams - coordinated swarms of AI agents that research, debug, and build in parallel. What was feature-flagged is now real. Here's what it means and how to use it. Thu, 05 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://addyosmani.com/blog/claude-code-agent-teams/ https://addyosmani.com/blog/claude-code-agent-teams/ Agentic Engineering is a disciplined approach to AI-assisted software development that emphasizes human oversight and engineering rigor, distinguishing it from the more casual 'vibe coding' style. Wed, 04 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://addyosmani.com/blog/agentic-engineering/ https://addyosmani.com/blog/agentic-engineering/ Imagine ending your workday and waking up to new features coded, tested, and ready for review. This is the promise of autonomous AI coding agents harnessing tools like Claude Code in continuous loops to improve and ship code while you sleep. In this write-up, I will ll cover how to set up these self-improving agent loops, covering everything from orchestrating the loops and structuring context files to memory persistence, QA validation, scaling, debugging, and risk management.
