Talk deck by **Dorra Bartaguiz** (CTO, **Arolla**), presented at the **Dev With AI** conference and published as a PDF on LinkedIn on **October 15, 2026**; **61 slides**, in French with examples in English. Thesis: when AI causes velocity to surge, quality is regained through tooled *craft* practices built around the model — *harness engineering*.

LinkedIn post by **Daniel Meppiel** (works with enterprise engineering teams at **Microsoft** and **GitHub**), dated **October 1, 2026**, accompanied by an infographic (~350 words). He proposes a four-entry-point decision framework for starting an **Agentic SDLC** at enterprise scale, with the right starting point depending on what already works, what is missing, and the organization's capacity to take on maintenance.

Talk by **Eno Reyes** (co-founder and CTO of **Factory**, whose "droids" agents are described in the introduction as used by hundreds of thousands of developers and companies such as **Nvidia** and **MongoDB**, right after a **$150 million Series C**), published on **September 22, 2026** on the **FirstMark Capital** channel (25 min 51 s video, transcript of about 5,300 words). He presents the "software factory" as an agent-driven feedback loop, and the role of humans as stewards of this factory.

Post by **Ethan Mollick** published on **August 31, 2026** on *One Useful Thing* (~2,200 words). He starts from a security incident to raise an organizational question: when should an AI ask a human for help?

Essay by **Bill Staples**, CEO of **GitLab**, published on **August 24, 2026** on the about.gitlab.com blog: an announced **31-minute** read, roughly **39,000 characters**, presented as the sequel to a memo written to the board of directors in January 2026 and partially published in May under the title *GitLab Act 2*. The text presents itself as a response to **Anthropic**'s AI-native SDLC playbook, published three days earlier, from which it borrows the opening line — "Code is no longer the bottleneck" — to pose the question that drives it: what becomes scarce when code becomes abundant. (A) The economic diagnosis: the useful unit is not cost per line but **cost per accepted change**, which aggregates generation, environment, context, verification, review, remediation, and governance; AI collapses the generation term alone, which makes the others proportionally heavier — an organization ten times faster at generating "will simply move the queue." (B) The architectural response: four capabilities — agent platform, machine-scale execution, durable context, governance — forming an enterprise layer that outlives the model, "The model should be replaceable. The agent should belong to the customer." (1) Three modes coexist durably, from human-driven legacy to autonomous development, against the idea of a single maturity curve. (2) The CI/CD pipeline becomes the place where the inner loop runs, instead of being an end-of-line gate. The figures cited are Stripe's, Spotify's, and Amplitude's; GitLab produces only one, about its own source control. The corpus already holds [[claxton-anthropic-ai-native-sdlc-playbook-2026-08-21]], the source this text responds to, and [[sfeir-sdlc-pdlc-articulation-2026-07-22]] on the SDLC/PDLC articulation that Staples adopts as his own.
