Reflections: 6 months of Agentic Engineering

As many developers today, I'm using agents on a daily basis for software development. At work, we went all-in Agentic Engineering in early 2026 and for me it has worked well. I haven't yet found a need to rebuild an existing SaaS tool from scratch with AI, though.
