Code Generation

“Eventually I realized that the way to actually solve this problem was not in academia but in the industry. And to properly solve it in the industry, you'd have to start a company.”

“On the enterprise, I think things are going to keep going, and especially Cogen. I think we are not going to see a plateau in Cogen. I think that is going to get much better really, really fast.”

“Left to right reasoning for code doesn't actually really make sense, because in code, we don't, like, we might sometimes write code left to right, but after you write code, you go up and down and figure out, hey, is this variable set? Did I do this? There are …”

“What matters now is sort of, you know, picking the quality out of the volume, and so if I fast forward 10 years on code generation, when we have the ability, To generate a ton of code to do a ton of different things. We're going to need some selection mechanis…”

“Code generation works super well now. So when we take these prompts to code, there used to be so many gotchas where the code wouldn't actually work, whether the API is not well supported or it makes a couple mistakes here and there. And now It's hard to break …”

“It feels to me that the better code generation gets, the more design matters, and the more that actually the human pushing on design matters too, because even if you have a good starting spot from your design system, from, you know, AI generation, whether it b…”

“Every coding tool today is focused on the code generation piece”

“These agents aren't good at writing from scratch. They're good at processing instructions and doing and turning them into some text output, right? For code, that's actually really useful, right? If I can describe in English what I'm looking for, An agent can o…”

“You know, what I've seen is that, especially in, like, code generation, I sort of count that as, like, true agentic companies. Because not only can they, like, generate code, like, you know, plan what they're gonna write, then generate the code, then run it, s…”

“There's a lot of people involved, right? So for us, for example, you know, we saw to go to market teams, what makes good content? What makes the lead that you're reaching out to like a true ICP lead for you? Again, just kind of subjective. And so I think that'…”

“Our company wasn't doing AI stuff the six months ago, we had no AI products and just out of nowhere, we you know, From almost death of the company to being, you know, the number one by traffic revenue, et cetera, like, you know, AI co-gen app that's, you know,…”

“The web hosting companies that exist today, I think they either need to dramatically change or you will have a new generation of them. Because you know web development is probably the first to be attacked by code generation.”

“If you want to get to the point where you can actually be truly agentic or like multi-step automated a necessary part of that is like the single step has to be robust and reliable.”

“These things are really bad at doing math because they write compelling text, but they're really good at translating language, natural language to code.”
