SF October 14th: A Birds of a Feather Session on Agentic Engineering
Simon Willison is hosting an evening event with Jesse Vincent in San Francisco on Wednesday 14th October, described as a Birds of a Feather session on agentic engineering.
The event is aimed at people building "weird and interesting things with and on top of coding agents." Willison characterized it as "an agentic show-and-tell," where builders and experimenters can compare notes on what they are trying, what they are learning, and what they have not yet figured out.
Organizers said they are especially interested in work that has not been discussed publicly, odd experiments, or unfinished projects without an obvious market. The format is expected to be one flowing conversation with an informal show-and-tell. Sharing something in progress is encouraged, but no presentation is required.
The event is explicitly not about product pitches; Willison framed it as covering much earlier explorations. He added that "this agentic AI stuff is weird" and that the session is meant to celebrate and lean into that weirdness. The post was tagged with events, ai, generative-ai, llms, coding-agents, jesse-vincent and agentic-engineering.

SF October 14th: A Birds of a Feather Session on Agentic Engineering I'm hosting an evening event with Jesse Vincent in San Francisco on Wednesday 14th October for people who are building weird and interesting things with and on top of coding agents. Think of it as an agentic show-and-tell: Compare notes with other builders and experimenters on things you’re trying, what you're learning, and what you haven’t figured out yet. We’re especially interested in work you haven’t discussed publicly, odd experiments, or un
