The best agentic developers throw away their agent's work without guilt, run three agents at once and only use one, and treat their AI like a junior developer they genuinely dislike. It sounds wrong. It works.
Daniel Jones, Head of Product at re:cinq, has upskilled hundreds of developers across Northern Europe's largest enterprises. In this episode he joins Simon Maple to share the counterintuitive habits, hard data, and practical frameworks behind high-performing agentic development teams.
On the docket:
- Why bad engineering practices get worse, not better, with AI agents
- The exact conditions that make your agent hallucinate every time
- Why your AGENTS.md is quietly working against you
- How to manage context before it kills your productivity
- What enterprise AI rollout actually looks like at scale
- Why the worst managers get the most out of agentic coding
If your team is adding AI and wondering why things aren't getting faster, this episode is for you.
