Siddhant Khare

I wrote a book for engineering leaders. The Agentic Engineering Guide. 10 parts, 33 chapters. Context engineering, authorization, cost control, sandboxing, evaluation, governance, adoption playbooks. Not a prompt tutorial. The decisions you face when shipping agents to production this quarter. Early version. Open source. Rough edges included. Spot a mistake, open a PR. agents.siddhantkhare.com

@darshitpp okk, will work on it.. thanks for the feedback <3

@Siddhant_K_code The general phrasing as is with most AI. Feels impersonal

Bangalore is not an upgrade siddhantkhare.com/writing/bangal…

@paw_lean @AICodingSummit yess!!! IK people gonna love it :)

@Siddhant_K_code @AICodingSummit All this build up got me excited to learn where I’m going personally

Excited to be one of your @AICodingSummit MCs this year. See you in July! 🇬🇧

@darshitpp Sorry about that, can you point out where you felt like that - I will improve it from next!

@Siddhant_K_code I understand, but it takes the human quality out of the argument, and instead makes an observer detached

@darshitpp Only the grammar & phrasing is improved by AI

@Siddhant_K_code Good article but it reads like AI. Not sure if I'm correct

@lotte_verheyden Hey! I am trying to build something similar to trace it out - github.com/Siddhant-K-cod…

@pandeyragini24 Thanks 🙏

@Siddhant_K_code This is so rare. Having this much clarity at such a young age, and the article is written so well. People who don’t understand it now, or aren’t on the same page yet, eventually will when they get older. It’s just a matter of time.

4 years at @ona_hq today. Started as an intern. Stayed because the work kept getting interesting & the people kept being worth it. The rebrand, Background Agents Summit, a lot shipped. Feels like the strongest version of the company so far. Grateful for a team that genuinely cares. That's rarer than it sounds.

Fair point on the title, it's a bit spicy. And you're right that this is personal. For someone who wanted out, BLR delivers things our hometown never will. The people, the energy, the conversations. That’s real & I'm not dismissing it. My situation is just different. I'm not trying to move out. I'm already doing the work I want, with the people I want, from where I am. The calculus only works one way when moving is the goal. It looks different when it isn't. Both can be true.

understood the pov. but do you not think the title is a bit rage/click baitey. for me being in BLR means exponentially better quality of life compared to my hometown (which happens to be same as yours) and that doesn't include the weather etc. its mostly people/conversations I have around me, which unfortunately just wont ever happen back home. its hard for me to be on the same page here, because for the longest time, all i wanted to do was to move out. and honestly i can never stop encouraging people to move out truly once, even if that means breaking your bank or wasting a bunch of time : )

@jayanth_s_iyer Thank you <3

@Siddhant_K_code superb read, btw love ur work,the WFH thing - not sure when people will realise in India but it is tied to real estate...and no. of yrs exp - well that is something very Indian I think, how can he be Staff, so less exp....

@monkfromearth yes!! thanks for sharing ❤️

"Global companies hiring in India, and anywhere else, are operating on an assumption that is quietly costing them good engineers." @Siddhant_K_code makes some of the most crucial point that I hope/wish/pray all tech companies and startups pay attention to. Read it.

@monkfromearth ❤️

@Siddhant_K_code Second this opinion 🙌🏼

There's a new pattern in OSS. Someone ships a project. Gets traction. Two weeks later, a "variant" appears. Same structure. Same design decisions. More chapters, more lessons, more content. Bigger number. The agent didn't copy text. It copied judgment. You can feel it. You can't prove it. That's the part that's hard to attribute.

@jha01roshan @dishantwt_ For ctx - x.com/Siddhant_K_cod…

@jha01roshan @dishantwt_ Pretty interesting timings, I launched my book on March 4th, and the author decided to start writing it on the 18 th March

what a great fckin resource

You asked your coding agent to help with a PR. It read a `.env` file. Stored the contents. Now your OpenAI key lives in its memory forever. Distill v0.9.0 classifies every memory write at write time. Credentials, PII, internal references. No LLM call. Under 1ms. The key never should have been stored quietly. Also in this release: Ollama embeddings (no API key needed), memory expiry, conflict detection, task-relevance ranking. MIT. Runs local. github.com/Siddhant-K-cod…

@paw_lean Excited for your next journey :D

Today is my final day at ▲ Vercel. I joined for the product, but I’ll leave most grateful for the people: the team I got to build with, the community I got to serve, and everyone who made this chapter feel so special. pawlean.com/posts/vercel

My book (if you missed it) - x.com/Siddhant_K_cod…

I’m planning to add a chapter on “Harness Engineering” based on feedback from a recent AI session I gave. I ’d love to hear your thoughts on what should be included in that chapter. GitHub issue: github.com/Siddhant-K-cod…
