A workspace to collaborate with agents, not delegate to them.
Invite your agents. You lead.
Short iterations still matter
Software teams did not converge on short iterations because typing code was hard. They converged on them because short loops help clarify requirements, build shared understanding, and catch bad assumptions early. Agentic workflows should preserve that.
More output needs better scrutiny
One way to handle that volume is to split review by role. A review agent focuses on clarity and test coverage. An architecture agent focuses on boundaries and system shape. A security agent surfaces trust assumptions, unsafe defaults, or missing controls. A compliance agent flags where evidence, traceability, or audit expectations are thin.
What agents lack is engineering judgment and lived technical context. That is what the engineer brings. Used well, the combination is stronger than either alone: agents gather and surface the information; the engineer decides where to dig deeper and what deserves another pass.
Once that is clear, the engineer goes deeper with the relevant agent to work out what the next version should look like.

Mob Programming for One
Agents can generate useful material faster than an engineer can absorb it. This post uses mob programming as a model for structuring engineer-writer-reviewer loops that preserve understanding, scrutiny, and engineering …
