We Are Orchestrators Now

A plan for the agentic future

We don't just write code. We design systems, direct agents, and ship outcomes. The developer who thrives tomorrow is the one who learns to think one level above the code.


Why This Matters

Software development is undergoing a fundamental shift. AI agents are no longer autocomplete tools; they are capable collaborators that can plan, write, test, refactor, and document. Agencies that adapt to this reality will move faster, build better, and free their people to do the work that actually requires human judgment. Those that don't will spend their time doing what machines can do better.

We are choosing to adapt: deliberately, ambitiously, and with our quality bar raised, not lowered.


The Principles We Operate By

Orchestrate, don't just execute. Our engineers define intent and constraints. Agents handle implementation details. The highest-value skill is knowing what to ask for, how to verify it, and when to intervene.

Quality is non-negotiable, and agentic development must exceed it. Tests at every level. Clear documentation. Agentic memory that makes context portable. We do not accept speed at the cost of craft.

Challenge the toolchain, always. No tool is sacred. If GitHub, Linear, or anything else can be replaced or augmented by something that makes us meaningfully faster or smarter, we explore it.

Share what works. Knowledge compounds when it spreads. Wins, failures, and experiments belong to the whole team.


The Plan: Five Steps Toward Full Agentic Operation


Step 1: Equip Everyone

Foundation: give every person the tools to start.

Every team member gets access to first-class agentic tooling: Claude, Codex, and whatever emerges as the standard. No one should be working without AI assistance by default. Onboarding for new tools is treated as essential infrastructure, not optional reading.

Outcome: Every developer is actively using at least one AI coding assistant in their daily workflow.


Step 2: Streamline the Repository Experience

Make agentic workflows frictionless at the code level.

We roll out standardized worktree support across all Rush repositories. Agents need to run in parallel, on isolated branches, without stepping on each other. This infrastructure is the prerequisite for serious agentic development at scale, and we treat it accordingly.

Outcome: Any developer (or agent) can spin up an isolated work environment in seconds.


Step 3: Redirect Shared Learning Toward Agentic Development

We already learn together - now we focus that habit.

Our existing tech lunches shift focus to agentic development: hands-on technique sharing, not general AI news. What prompts work, what orchestration patterns hold up in production, what blew up and why. Conversational and practical, not lecture-style.

Outcome: The team's collective agentic capability compounds week over week.


Step 4: Audit and Evolve the Toolchain

Our tools should amplify agents, not constrain them.

We formally evaluate our current stack: GitHub for version control, Linear for project management, against emerging agentic-native alternatives. This includes trialing tools like VIBE-KANBAN and any other orchestration layer that promises to close the gap between task definition and autonomous execution. We adopt what demonstrably improves throughput and clarity; we don't change for change's sake.

Outcome: A toolchain that an agent can navigate as fluently as a human.


Step 5: Raise the Quality Bar

Agentic speed is only valuable if the output holds.

We codify and enforce elevated standards for everything agents touch: comprehensive tests (unit, integration, end-to-end), thorough documentation written alongside the code, and structured agentic memory so that context isn't lost between sessions or agents. Code review now includes reviewing what the agent was asked to do and whether the guardrails held.

Outcome: Agentic-generated code meets or exceeds our previous manual standard.


What Success Looks Like

Three months from now, a new project kicks off. The team defines requirements and architecture. Agents scaffold the codebase, write initial tests, and draft documentation. Engineers review, direct, course-correct, and ship. The quality is higher than before. The timeline is shorter. Nobody spent a week writing boilerplate.

That's where we're going.
