When software developers and AI agents share the learning
Shopify's River AI agent works exclusively in public Slack channels, turning every agent session into a visible, searchable transcript that feeds back into the agent's skills and defaults. This 'Lehrwerkstatt' (teaching workshop) model contrasts with the typical enterprise pattern where developers use private AI tools whose discoveries die when the session closes. The post argues that the real promise of agentic coding isn't individual productivity gains but organizational learning — making agent work inspectable, reusable, and improvable. It also examines agents.md as a mechanism for encoding non-inferable enterprise context, citing ETH Zurich research showing LLM-generated context files often hurt performance while human-written ones focused on unique domain knowledge help. The key takeaway: agent work should happen in public so the whole organization compounds on shared insights.
