InfoQ

Confidence 0.75 · 2 sources · last confirmed 2026-06-26

A software-engineering news site and practitioner community (run by C4Media) that publishes technical articles, news, and conference talks for senior developers and architects, and organises the QCon international conference series and the InfoQ Dev Summit. In this wiki it surfaces as the publishing venue / channel for recorded conference talks on agent engineering — the author: attribution on video source pages whose presenters speak under the InfoQ/QCon banner.

Why InfoQ matters in this wiki

InfoQ is the venue through which two of the wiki’s agent-harness practitioner talks reached the corpus — promoted to an entity on its second source mention per the §Author-entity promotion rule (the author = channel convention for videos means InfoQ is the recurring author):

• Böckeler — “The Engineering of AI Agents” (QCon London 2026) — Thoughtworks’ Birgitta Böckeler propagating the harness engineering term to the broader engineering audience; published to the InfoQ YouTube channel.
• “From Demo to Production: Why Agentic AI Systems Fail” — an unnamed practitioner’s four-production-failure-patterns war-story on an agentic app-generation platform; an InfoQ conference talk.

Both are practitioner-conference sources rather than vendor announcements or academic papers — InfoQ’s editorial niche (senior-engineer-facing, implementation-focused, vendor-neutral) is why its talks tend to land in the wiki’s agent-harness and agentic-engineering clusters as independent, outside-the-vendor-cluster vantages.

Open questions

• InfoQ vs. QCon attribution. The wiki currently attributes both talks to author: ["InfoQ"] (the YouTube channel). If a future source distinguishes a QCon-stage talk from InfoQ-original editorial content, the attribution convention may need a series:-style refinement.
