Episode Description

In this podcast, I chat with <a href='https://mcnuggies.dev'>Larah Vasquez</a> and <a href='https://passo.uno/'>Fabrizio Ferri-Benedetti</a> about using skills to extend AI capabilities, the future of agentic engineering, local models like Qwen and Gemma, and whether the tech writer role is shifting into automation architecture. We get into the memory problem in LLMs (and why some of us actually prefer the no memory to extended memory), the progression from prompt engineering to context engineering to compound engineering to orchestrating whole agent systems, and how skills are quietly forcing engineers to write down knowledge they'd never documented before.
