Tomorrow's the day! 🚀 Gabe Goodhart, Ryan Kather, and I are heading to the AI Builders Conference with IBM, and you should come hang out with us. 📅 Wednesday, September 16, 2026 ⏰ 10:00 AM – 1:30 PM ET 💻 Virtual and 100% free If you're into building with AI, this is your spot. We're talking AI-assisted coding with IBM Bob, agentic AI, and new ways AI is changing how we learn. Expect deep technical sessions, live demos, project showcases, and insights straight from IBM's experts. Whether you're a student, educator, developer, or just someone who loves building cool stuff, grab a seat and join us. See you there! 👋 https://lnkd.in/gHZxkYd8 #AIBuilders #IBM #IBMBob #AgenticAI #AIAssistedCoding #BuildWithAI #GenerativeAI #DevCommunity #TechEvents #FutureOfCode #FowardDeployedEngineering #AI

Turn one BRD into a multi-agent solution with five AI agents, Python tools, and a knowledge base. In this hands-on tutorial, Ahmed Azraq and Allen Chan walk through using the Launch Bob feature in watsonx Orchestrate, including automated testing, evaluation, and deployment: https://ibm.co/6044ETZQu

One coding agent. Two completely different outcomes. Context can be the difference between a rough response and production-ready software. Bri Kopecki explains why in this context engineering tutorial: https://ibm.co/6047ETVBc

Coding agents can turn a vague idea into working software fast. But what happens when no one has defined what “correct” means? Markus Eisele explores how much specification agentic development actually needs: https://ibm.co/6047ErSVc

Coding-agent instructions and deterministic controls solve different problems. Instructions tell the model how you want it to work. Hooks can inject current repository facts, reject a tool call before it changes a protected file, and record whether verification actually ran. For this hands-on tutorial, I built a complete IBM Bob lifecycle-hook harness around a small Python release-policy project. It shows how to: - inject live project context at session start; - inspect prompts before the agent begins work; - block protected-file edits with `PreToolUse`; - record test evidence after tool calls; - summarize the run with a `Stop` hook; and - exercise the same repository through BobShell. I also tested the portability boundary. Skills, commands, policy logic, and many hook handlers can move from Codex or Claude into Bob. Packaging and runtime contracts usually cannot: the directories, manifests, event names, payload fields, and exit semantics still need a Bob-specific adapter. The useful design rule is to keep durable policy in ordinary scripts, keep agent guidance in skills and commands, and make the thin harness layer explicit. That gives the agent room to reason without asking it to enforce its own boundaries. https://lnkd.in/e9XKFuYw #IBMBob #CodingAgents #AgenticDevelopment #DeveloperTools #AIGovernance
