- 5Martin Fowler·9/2/2026researchThoughtworks finds plans can coordinate coding agents
Thoughtworks engineers building an airline IROps system found that shared plans in a monorepo helped multiple coding agents coordinate their work. By committing, rebasing, and updating those plans, agents could see progress, avoid overlapping tasks, and receive implementation notes from other agents.
- 3Simon Willison·6/28/2026researchJon Udell on Reframing Human-in-the-Loop Work
Jon Udell argues against the phrase “human in the loop,” saying it implies machines are in control. He proposes framing agent-assisted development as a human-led workflow where agents are invited into the team and processes remain reviewable rather than black-boxed.
