The Shape of Things to Come
Summary
Steve Yegge's The Shape of Things to Come envisions an agent-based software civilization built around Beads, Wheelhouse, and autonomous agents that run production work nonstop. The piece argues that loops, graphs, and token-based orchestration will transform CI/CD, code reviews, and software delivery, culminating in a self-evolving 'city' of software. It blends personal anecdotes with architectural predictions and offers takeaways on adopting agentic tooling and governance.
