Mid-Year Checkpoint — Software-Engineering Harnesses and Factories

At the start of the year this community predicted 2026 would be the year AI adoption moved from the individual task level to the organisational process level — and that engineers would shift from running agents sequentially to running agent fleets in parallel. This mid-year checkpoint revisits that call with the people actually doing it. Philip Brennan of OneView walks through his company's journey to becoming an Augmented Software Engineering Organisation: what changed in the tooling, what changed in the process, and what turned out to be harder than expected. Hosted at Baseline on Thomas Street, with AbbeyCapital sponsoring. Worth your time if you are an engineering leader trying to work out what 'AI-native delivery' means beyond the demos.
