Developers Adopt Agentic Tools For Production Coding
On 14 March 2026 the author summarized highlights from a February 2026 Pragmatic Summit fireside chat in San Francisco about agentic engineering and coding agents. The discussion covered stages of AI adoption, trust and testing strategies (red–green TDD, manual tests, Showboat), conformance-driven development, codebase patterns, and prompt-injection risks, illustrating practical guidance for developers integrating LLM-driven agents into software workflows.
