SF October 14th: A Birds of a Feather Session on Agentic Engineering

Blog · Watch/Read

  • Simon Willison is hosting an informal “Birds of a Feather” (BoF) session in San Francisco on October 14th, 2026, specifically for individuals building “weird and interesting things with and on top of coding agents.”
  • The event is framed as an “agentic show-and-tell,” encouraging participants to share “work you haven’t discussed publicly, odd experiments, or unfinished projects that don’t have an obvious market.”
  • It emphasizes early-stage exploration and celebrating the “weirdness” of agentic AI, explicitly stating it’s “not about product pitches” but rather “much earlier explorations.”
