In The Loop 008 (NYC)

In The Loop 008In The Loop is a series of events for engineers and builders pushing the boundaries of what's possible with agentic coding. We maintain a constant curiosity about what these tools can achieve and what they will achieve next. If you're searching for a community to exchange field notes in a straightforward environment, you have found it.In this session, we will be joined by 2-3 founding engineers for a group discussion on how they have integrated agentic coding into their daily workflows. Come and share how you work today, explore ways to enhance your own workflow, and outline what you plan to try next.Who's presentingMatt Casey, Software Engineer at Antimetal, an AI system that assists engineering teams in understanding, diagnosing, and enhancing production systems by reasoning across logs, metrics, alerts, code, and past incidents. He was previously a founding engineer at Stainless, which was acquired by Anthropic, and holds a B.S. in Operations Research from Columbia University. Matt writes research pieces for Antimetal on representing software systems for machine reasoning and the infrastructure context coding agents need.Dmitri Mirakyan, Co-founder at Creed, a16z Speedrun-backed company in AI media and the creator economy. He previously bootstrapped yourmove.ai, a consumer AI product, to over 1M users, and led consumer data science at Opendoor. He's based in NYC and studied at the University of Texas at Austin.Colin Murphy, a founding engineer who built the entire technical stack for a healthcare AI startup, HealthyMe AI. A Drexel University graduate based in the NYC metro area, he's been writing and speaking about the practical edges of agentic development—from MCP versus agent skills to using agents for retrieval, not just generation.About Your HostsAbrey Mann, Software Engineer in AI at Ode with Anthropic, which brings frontier AI into practice within medium to enterprise-sized businesses. Previously, he was a founding engineer across a series of NYC startups. Having built at both ends—scrappy startups and enterprise AI deployments—he's eager to help cultivate NYC's agentic coding community from the ground up.Kevin Huynh, an ops leader building apps. He was previously VP of Operations at Substack and authored Get Together for Stripe Press—a book on how to build a community with your people. Today, he divides his time between launching an iOS app studio for habit-tracking games and creating respectful chaos with his toddler in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.What We'll CoverThe presenters will illustrate how they have integrated agentic coding into their daily workflows—not with a scripted demo, but through a genuine conversation about what works, what doesn’t, and where they are still figuring things out. Expect a group discussion format: plenty of opportunity to ask questions, exchange notes, and delve into the specifics that are relevant to your own workflow, alongside a room full of other engineers employing these same tools.ScheduleWhether you're skeptical, curious, or already deeply involved with Claude/Cursor/Copilot, join alongside other founding engineers navigating this shift together. You will leave with practical skills, new perspectives, and connections with other founding engineers confronting similar challenges.This is part of a recurring series of technical workshops. As the landscape continues to evolve rapidly, we will keep gathering to learn together and stay at the forefront of what's next.Presented by Scout.
