Simon Willison’s Weblog 1 month ago 50
Simon Willison used ChatGPT Work with GPT-6 Astra (Max) to generate looped 5K and 10K running routes from a home address using OpenStreetMap data. The run took 27 minutes and produced downloadable GPX and GeoJSON files for the routes. This changes the workflow from manually planning routes to using an AI agent to automatically create map-ready route files and visualizations.

Paul Ford says software developer roles were at first expected to be replaced by tireless robots, but humans still need to think and collaborate for truly cutting-edge software. He argues that A.I. makes it easy to do someone else’s job badly, which is why many projects fail. This shifts emphasis from coding ability alone toward human skill, teamwork, and doing the right work well.

Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) roles became widely adopted across AI labs and startups, but the term now covers very different jobs and incentives. In the author’s Palantir Project Frontline experience, a deployment of the Phoenix transaction store led to 2.3 million keyspaces and an OOM because production data contained blank timestamps. The resulting lesson is that FDEs should embed inside customer workflows to identify the last-mile fixes that generate feedback for what the product team must build next, rather than functioning as sales engineering or consulting by another name.

Agentic AI is leaving the lab and heading straight into the messy parts of work—then running into the equally messy parts of security. Atlassian’s “Agentic Multiplayer Protocol” is built around attribution, showing agent contributions in document history so accountability stays with the user, not “the AI did it.” That governance impulse is echoed elsewhere as teams try to treat agents like managed services instead of novelty software: Pax8’s 8os lets IT partners govern multiple vendors’ agents with per-customer separation and hard usage caps, while Motive Technologies pushes fleet automation from passive alerts to autonomous actions, pitching faster ROI through fewer preventable operational problems. Even property management is getting the agent layer, with Vessla aiming to coordinate leasing and building operations while keeping human approval for judgment calls.
