Sep 23, 2025 Reuven Cohen, founder of the Agentics Foundation and creator of Claude Flow, explores the transformative potential of agentic engineering. He reveals why 2025 is dubbed the 'Year of the Agent' and discusses how the discipline is evolving from niche to mainstream. The conversation dives into the challenges of AI-washing in big corporations, the intricate balance of speed, quality, and cost in agent-based development, and how community-driven efforts can safeguard innovation against corporate dominance.

Episode notes
From ChatGPT Prompt To 100k+ Community
- Reuven followed early ChatGPT guidance to build a subreddit, weekly livecasts, and public code, which grew into a 100k+ community.
- That community and public artifacts turned into consulting clients and Fortune 500 customers.
Failures Reflect Skill Gaps, Not AI Limits
- High agentic project failure rates reflect unfamiliarity, not impossibility; teams lack practices and specs for this new space.
- Agentic projects need new patterns distinct from traditional long-cycle development.
Scaffold Then Run Parallel Agents
- Start with a high-level pseudocode scaffolding and architecture before generating code to enable parallel agent work.
- Use test-driven refinement (London-style) so agents iterate and converge on working code.
