Can Agentic Engineering Really Deliver Enterprise-Grade Code? | Reuven Cohen

The AI Native Dev - from Copilot today to AI Native Software Development tomorrow

What makes 2025 the “Year of the Agent”?

In this episode of AI Native Dev, Simon Maple joined Reuven Cohen, founder of the Agentics Foundation and creator of Claude Flow, to explore how agentic engineering went from a fringe experiment to a movement reshaping how developers build software.

On the docket:

• what makes “agentic engineering” a new profession, not just a buzzword

• how hive minds and swarms mirror nature’s most efficient systems

• why large companies are “AI-washing” agent tech

• the real tradeoffs between speed, quality, and cost in agent-based dev

• how community-driven foundations are hedging against trillion-dollar corporations
