Last week I spoke at Agile Cambridge, and it was great being back.

I arrived in 18 degrees so started with a walk on campus :)

As always the people and the discussions were the best parts. Some people I had not seen since before the pandemic, some were new, and some I got closer to 💕

Express an interest in genAI coding sessions

Even Kent Beck is vibe coding these days. But does it really work? Are you wary about jumping on the bandwagon, but also worried about being left behind? I'd like to create a safe space for you to…

But I’m also exploring some in-person training sessions in Manchester (UK), and some online sessions. I haven’t decided on the details yet, and that’s where you can help.

If you have any interest at all in all this stuff, fill out my simple form to register an interest and express your preferences.

I’ve been experimenting with all the tools and learning how to have fun with it all and make useful progress. Appreciate the strengths and understand the weaknesses.

So anyway, I’m running some in-person workshops in Nov, at Trifork Academy* in Amsterdam and @sagconference.bsky.social in Berlin.

How are you feeling about LLM-augmented coding? Frustrated by the blanket coverage? Skeptical about the benefits? Scared of being left behind? Worried about the negative impact?

I hear you, and I’m here to help. >>>

Your employers need you to be operating at maximum capacity. And that includes understanding what you need to know, what you DON’T need to know, and how to function in the spaces between.

Also, maybe you deserve a little trip away from your desk? >>>

Are you in a technical leadership position? Do you worry you’re not technical enough?

You’re not alone! It’s an incredibly common concern, and it can have a huge negative impact on your ability to do your job effectively.

Your career is worth investing in. >>>

This is really good. It's important for people to take coding with agentic AI seriously. Not with breathless excitement, nor blinkered skepticism. But as a tool with strengths, weaknesses, and skills in use

Clare Sudbery @claresudbery.bsky.social · 3d

Today I published my second post with practical advice on how to get the most out of agentic AI coding tools. This time I talk about how much you should get the LLM to do for you.

What with Kent Beck’s fascinating interview with Jessica Kerr on the OllyCast podcast, Ethan Mollick’s Co-Intelligence book, and a bunch of experimentation with Claude and Windsurf among other tools, it’s an intriguing journey. >>>

How much should an LLM do for you?

I’ve started experimenting with using LLMs to help me build software. One of the first things I did was to watch the video of Llewellyn Falco’s talk about using process files as blueprints for Agentic AI, from Craft Conference 2025. >>>

I get asked often, “but what can a Representative actually *do*?”

We can:
1. Refuse to do what fascists tell us to
2. Make the lives of people doing bad things worse
3. Call every one of their bluffs

Until we regain power. Then we will prosecute the crimes & implement universal healthcare.
