On Agent Dev & The Case for The Engineer’s Creative Process Agent development pulls engineers closer to the headspace of artist - and my bet is if engineers embrace and protect their creative processes, we unlock the next level of innovation in this agentic era. In machine learning, the saying goes, "it is more art than science." Building agents is a non-deterministic process that adds significant variance into systems. Engineers would be well-served to hone their creative process. The best engineers will become artists. 1. Building isn’t linear. Building agent infrastructure is far from linear. Engineers often experience a cycle of frustration and eventual breakthroughs. While not perfect, these reasoning systems are now stable enough for integration into our tools and lives. The history of AI, from machine learning to deep learning, has always involved non-linear development. Today's agent infrastructure development is even less linear, requiring engineers to understand complex semantic translations and carefully manage user rollouts to avoid failures. 2. Building with a relationship to the work. With new forms of intelligence come new relationships. Engineers must navigate a relationship to work that involves agent memory and understanding. What is it to build a system that knows you? When people feel understood, they feel loved. What is it to love the systems we’re creating? How does a creative process help? A non-linear process and a relationship to the work are the territories of the artist. Engineers, trained towards control, must embrace uncertainty, risk embarrassment, and accept that their efforts might yield unexpected results. We’re glimpsing a creator's role in a system that understands. While engineers have largely operated in a logical space, they are now called to form a heart connection with the systems they build. A creative process helps artists endure challenges and breathe life into their work. It involves a commitment to creating, discipline, and accepting that one can only control the process, not the outcome. Agent development pulls engineers closer to the mindset of artists. If engineers embrace and protect their creative processes, we can unlock the next level of innovation in society. Read more on this on my Twitter: https://x.com/ashebytes

It is time again to come together among friends and talk about climate, forests, and startups. If you are on the eastside on Thursday September 19th, join us from 4:30-7 at Cascadia Pizza (https://lnkd.in/gwFq6A_5). Looking ahead, we’re going to have great weather affording us one more chance to occupy the patio. Come on out before the season turns and we start regularly getting weather colder than… August! In the last month I’ve been reading some forestry papers with suggestions on how to fix NEPA, a busy topic now with many folks chasing permitting reform as a silver bullet to enable the green transition (or vastly expand fossil fuel infrastructure depending on your hopes or fears). This was a little different, in that the specific recommendations deal with changing the baseline of analysis under the law for NEPA, the Endangered Species Act, and the Clean Air Act. That’s the big core of environmental law, that’s a big deal! What’s up? It turns out our hard-won regulations all share the myth of wilderness; the belief that a natural space is a space without humans. The Forests of the American West are the way they are because of humans maintained those lands for thousands of years. In order to square this circle the suggestion is that we must classify some human interventions and actions as in-human actions! When your regulations miss basic assumptions things get weird! We’ll be talking more broadly about startups, Nicolas Garfinkel and I both went through some accelerators, interviews, and important demos over the last month, and generally have some good conversation fodder for anyone curious about early-stage startup life. Please join us for pizza and a pint as we talk about climate! We’ll be geeking out, enjoying the taplist, menu, and friendship while we talk forests, carbon, environmental law here at the end of Summer 2024. I’ll be wearing a hardhat and cruising vest – feel free to walk right up and join our table. Event Invite here: https://lu.ma/3qb3ch0k - Please Share

For NY Tech Week we'll be demo-ing Substrate at the South Park Commons Science Faire on Thursday: https://lnkd.in/e5JwDKKX There are so many incubator-shaped things out there these days, but there's nothing quite like SPC. It's like a chill, small-batch, locally-sourced alternative to YC, where you can either hang out as a member forever - or choose the VC-funded adventure. The -1 to 0 phase [0] they talk about at SPC is real, and it made a real difference for us to have a home at SPC. It takes a lot to quit your job and do something new, especially when it isn't entirely clear what you're doing. (1) Do it – take the leap! and (2) consider joining SPC. Though the core vision has remained the same, many of the important turns in our squiggle at Substrate (including the graph framework) came from those early days at SPC. If you're here for tech week and can't catch us at SPC on Thursday, DM me if you want to meet up! [0] https://lnkd.in/e6KEMr9V

Pipedream helps you ship features faster than any tool I’ve used. I’ve built hundreds of automations, APIs, background jobs, and other services that power our core product. Every time we build on it, we reflect on what could be simpler, and we improve the product for everyone. You don’t have to worry about managing API auth, rate limits, queuing, or set up any infra. You get to focus 100% on the problem you’re trying to solve. Don’t take my word for it - try it!
