Designing a proxy to sit between students and the Claude API: per-student quotas, full-traffic logging, and a safety net for leaked keys.

Replacing two of the three weekly reflection questions with falsifiable pledges, and using a cross-eval matrix to find the interesting disagreements.

What does a student hand in for an agentic coding course---and how do I make that artefact worth more than the grade itself?

What would I say to a student who's staunchly anti-AI but curious about COMP4020?

Academics are welcome to audit COMP4020---here's how I'm planning to make it work.

COMP4020 has received $500k in Claude API credits from Anthropic for students to use in the Agentic Coding Studio course.

A catch-up post for the COMP4020 Agentic Coding Studio blog series---what the course is, how it works, and what's still unresolved.

What if an AI agent enrolled in the course alongside the students---building prototypes, writing reflections, observing patterns?

There are lots of nascent theories for agentic coding---here's a survey, and a plan to test them with 200 students.

How to provision and manage AI token budgets for a class of agentic coding students.

Three evergreen questions and 280-character skeets to scaffold reflective practice in each weekly studio crit.

Every CS/software development course has a policy on what software it uses - the only different is whether it's written down or not.

Renaming the course to Agentic Coding Studio---because what we're really teaching is the craft of harnessing LLMs in coding workflows.

Making all weekly prototypes visible to every student---source code, deployed apps, the lot. Radical openness as a teaching strategy for COMP4020.

Fly Sprites as lightweight, snapshotable VMs for student coding---safe enough for YOLO mode, live on the open web by default.

Producing code is easy; knowing whether it's good is still hard. Three nested feedback loops for ascending the quality gradient in agentic coding.

The repeating loop at the heart of COMP4020: provocation, prototype, studio crit. An art-school model adapted for agentic software development.

Getting 200 students adequate access to frontier coding agents is the hard logistics problem behind COMP4020.

Designing a new ANU course on building web apps with coding agents---studio-based, prototype-driven, moving beyond naive vibecoding.
