  "account": "On Wednesday, October 14th in San Francisco, an informal gathering will take place hosted by Simon Willison to discuss the intriguing world of agentic engineering. Attendees will include Jesse Vincent, and the event aims to bring together builders and experimenters who are working with coding agents in unique and interesting ways.\n\nThe gathering will be an open conversation, allowing participants to share their ongoing projects, learn from one another, and share unfinished or undisclosed work that may not have a clear market application. There is no requirement to present a product or pitch; the emphasis is on sharing early-stage explorations and unconventional experiments.\n\nSimon Willison, who authored this post, encourages participants to celebrate the peculiar nature of agentic AI and to embrace the weirdness that comes with it. This event is a great opportunity for those in the field to connect, share ideas, and move forward in this exciting and evolving area of technology.",
  "summary": "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…",
