AI coding agents

“And in that way, I think we should be able to hit up a hundred percent eventually.”

“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…”

“Being able to run multiple agents and not just one is going to be the way to unlock Honestly, most of the value out of these agents, and that's what we're working toward.”

“I expect that a lot more people are going to start doing things like this, like writing your own libraries or just shipping every feature.”

“As long as you see humans and AI writing it, like maybe there's a world where it's only AI's maintaining a code base and the assumptions change, but the moment you start to break that fourth wall and a human's coming in, doing code review, deploying the code, …”

“For agents, I don't think you have really had to tell code style. It looks at your code base and just writes code that's consistent to that. Whereas like a human's not going to take its time sorry, their time to go through the code base and you know, follow al…”

“I'm seeing us heading in the direction of highly integrated, very vertical end to end monoliths, you know, and I don't want to name names, but it's just, it's a, it's definitely a market trend.”

“I think memories right now for the large part are mostly useless.”

“In the future, we'll be looking not just one to five steps in the future, but 10, 20, 30 steps into the future. It'll be writing unit tests before you've even finished defining the function. It'll be performing code-based-wide refactors on multiple files based…”

“That's going to be blown up with async agents when they're running 24, seven concurrently in the background, then you can have 10 or a hundred times as many, and that's going to dominate inference. That's going to dominate the output you get.”

“The failure mode of outsourcing the thinking, but not the typing, which I think it should be the opposite. You still have to know engineering. You still have to know how to program. You still have to know your application and its architecture, how it's deploye…”

“They're kind of like two problems as these things get better. One is like, how do you specify what you want? And the other one is how do you verify that what you got is what you're.”

“We feel pretty strongly in like high structure allows for agents to work autonomously for longer. And so our default stack is TypeScript front end TypeScript back end with a shared file where, or a shared folder where all of our shared types and schemas and th…”

“And I would say like that tool calling, I think really only became reliable about a year ago, like last October, November, when the models that shipped were suddenly really good at calling tools. And I think that then changed everything, right? And you see tha…”

“We have found that in this new world where agents can end to end write much more code, reviewing the code is one of these new bottlenecks that, that crop up. And so reviewing a video is not a substitute for reviewing code, but it is an entry point that is much…”

“It turns out being an engineering manager, as long as you stay very close to the code and are able to continue to craft it yourself, is actually a great skill profile for being able to make agents work for you and for your team in this in this age.”

“Now with coding agents that are there, It's going to be very different. We're going to see much more of this. So I think, yes, industry there is going to be much larger in the future that we have these models.”

“And I think things that are hard and new is still something that the models need humans. Yeah. Drive. Yeah. But I think those other quadrants are largely solved, given the right scaffold and the right thing that's going to drive the agent to completion.”

“And so like the branching and forking stuff, like it's not different. Like we're just moving a thousand times quicker than we used to. And so some of these things like look like you really need like something massively, massively different, but it's just, you …”

“What we saw from our customers was that they were all trying to figure out how to do versioning. Everyone is doing it in different ways. There were some really weird ways where people were doing that. And the reason was that GitHub as is Was an overhead. Like …”
