Simon Willison and Jesse Vincent are hosting an evening birds-of-a-feather session on agentic engineering in San Francisco on Wednesday, October 14th, aimed at people building weird and interesting things with and on top of coding agents.
The event is framed as an "agentic show-and-tell":
- Compare notes on experiments, learnings, and unsolved problems with other builders
- Especially welcomes unpublished work, odd experiments, and unfinished projects without an obvious market
- Informal flowing conversation; sharing encouraged but no presentation required
The organizers stress it's not a product pitch event but a celebration of early-stage exploration — "this agentic AI stuff is weird! Let's celebrate and lean into that weirdness."
