Coding agents are changing how software is built. But what does the EU AI Act actually mean for engineering teams using them? This article explains the key concepts for CTOs and engineering leaders, from deployer and provider roles to AI literacy and the development of regulated AI systems.
The model gets the attention, but if you run coding agents seriously, most of your leverage sits in everything around it. There's a growing name for this work, harness engineering, and it's young enough that almost nothing you build is portable between tools. This is an introduction to the territory, organized around one distinction: the kernel harness the vendor ships versus the userspace harness you build on top.
Spec-Driven Development is basically about an old truth: intent must be made explicit. Why this is so strong for agentic engineering and where to go from here is what this article is about.
