Ramachandran: SWE-bench and HumanEval do not reflect real professional software engineering
“Most evals and benchmarks that exist out there for software development is kind of bogus. There's not really a better way of putting it. Like, okay, you have SweeBench, that's cool, no actual Professional work looks like Sweebench, like human eval, same thing.”

Ramachandran: AI flows will succeed AI agents in developer tooling
“Copilots are collaborative, but can only work on small scopes. Agents can do larger tasks, but are not collaborative. Both are very useful, but we realize that this real magic will happen when the AI has the ability to be both collaborative and independently p…”

Ramachandran: Tracking developer trajectory allows AI to infer intent without prompting
“If we're actually being able to understand the kind of the trajectory of what developers are doing within the editor, right, if we actually are being able to see, like, oh, the developer just went and opened up this part of the directory and tried to view it, …”

Ramachandran: Capturing Editor Trajectories Lets AI Infer Intent Without Explicit Prompting
“If we actually understand that trajectory, then our ability for the AI to just be immediately be like, Oh, I understand your intent. This is what you want to do without you having to spell it all out for it. That is one like that kind of like magic would reall…”

Ramachandran: Coding agents needing constant human fixes are unready for autonomy
“If the agent there has to always get human involvement to keep on fixing itself, it's probably not ready to become a full end-to-end automated system, because then we're just going to turn into a linter where, like, it produces a bunch of things and no one loo…”

Ramachandran: Needle-in-a-haystack retrieval benchmarks fail to model real code retrieval
“A lot of the benchmarks for these embedding-based systems are like needle in the haystack problems. Like, I want to find this one particular piece of information out of all this potential context. That's not That's not really what actually is necessary for doi…”
