coding agent

“There's a bunch of people doing coding stuff. We've already talked about that. I think that's a little bit, I wouldn't say that's a success yet, but there's a lot of excitement and stuff there.”

“Actual ability of models is maybe closer to 30 to 40%. So 30 to 40% of the things that I want an agent to solve on my own repos, it just solves without any human intervention. 80 to 90% it can solve without me opening an IDE, but I need to give it feedback.”

“I use coding agents maybe five to 10 times a day. To help me solve my own problems.”

“At first I was asking it to generate full files of code, like as I'm making changes. That can get a little bit confusing, and then if you're trying to use like a coding agent to bring it over into your projects. So I feel like that's not the best format for co…”

“Our belief as a company is that the correct wedge in, the correct starting point to this entire problem is decoding agent, because it's already, you know, software engineering is already what I would call kind of ergonomic for a language model.”

“I think it will become less of over time as cost will come down. I expect it will become less of a cost question and more of a UX question because with ensembling, well, what we found is that users really want to see what the agent is doing and follow along. A…”

“Like, ICD will soon be nothing more than runtime infrastructure for your workflows, and all those workflows will become agentic, right? It's going to be either workflows running LLMs, LLMs running workflows, all the way down. And CI is just, it's also events, …”

“If the answer is no, you're not, you're solving part of the problem, but you're not fully solving the problem of standardizing dev environments for coding agents. It's not, not going to stand the test of time because it will, it cannot be ubiquitous. It'll be …”

“And I think that, you know, we're gonna see another 16 to 64 X over the next 12 months as well.”

“People assume that coding agents need to meet the bar of writing the exact same kinds of software to the exact same standard, and that is not necessarily an assumption that end users, consumers will apply. If they have software that's much faster, cheaper, muc…”

“So what would you think about it is are those coding agents are actually a computer use agent, but for the terminal. They're actually incredibly general.”

“I do think like a lot of the last year's, 20, 25 story was the rise of coding agents. And I think 26 stories, definitely knowledge work.”

“I feel like coding agents have been so much more effective than general purpose agents, and I think a large part of that is it just has access to the terminal, like you said, and that means it has access to everything that you've installed into your terminal.”

“Anytime I'm working on code these days, I always have more than one agent going at the same time, because while one agent is going and reviewing the output of the next one, and if you get them in a nice round robin, you can be very, very productive. You can al…”

“One of the main things that I look for now when hiring engineers is how well do you work with coding agents?”

“We're about to go through computer security is about to go through the most dramatic change ever, which is number one, like every single latent security bug is about to be exposed. So we're going to have like the, we're set up here for like the computer securi…”

“Without the context that this is permissible, the coding agents are going to bias toward what they do, which is following instructions.”

“I would expect you to do what you think you need to do to convince me that the code is good and mergeable and compress that full trajectory in a way that is legible to me, the reviewer.”

“I think one thing that's becoming more clear is I think like coding agents are the kernel VGI, sort of everything is a coding agent.”

“Yeah, I think it'll be a mistake to like fix it on any particular coding agent. At the end of the day, it's just like CLI tools.”

“So now every night before I go to bed, I'm like, okay, did I start enough agents to get them done? I get everything done.”

“It's like the same way that you would have a coding agent write the unit test. You should have a coding agent write the eval.”

“I think that I think that the coding agents kind of debate is sort of ending really like they're mostly coagulating towards a similar approach, which is, you know, file based systems, a simple set of tools.”

“Almost every agent is a coding agent underneath underneath the hood, right? So you give it whatever, a file system, it can write its own code and so forth.”

“What we think is that it's not solely about the code generation. It's really about having the ability to use these you know, coding agent brained harnesses or runtimes across, not just. The coding experience where I'm going to like send a bunch of tasks out, o…”

“If you run any coding agent with permissions on, The models are actually number. And if you run them without, you know, the complete bypass of permissions, they do much better. Even if you like sit through those yes, yes, yes, accept or whatnot, you will see t…”

“There's only one type of agent, and that is a coding agent. It can do it all, right?”

“Most fascinating things about coding agents actually is they can do a lot of experimentation in an automated fashion. Yeah. They will give new hope. They'll breathe new life into mechanter research.”

“They're like, why are you doing coding agents and custom agents in the same thing, but I said it's basically the same problems.”

“I think this is like the domain of consultants first, but then people will actually build software that has like the management plane for coding agents.”

“It's like this it's an arms race where coding agents have just made it exponentially easier for people to open pull requests. And then it's so hard to triage, to review, to understand that it's aligned with.”

“We're very bullish and modal on the CI market as well because it has, There's more agents coding agents they're gonna run a lot more CI, and the preventives there can be much better.”

“I imagine that. In a matter of months, we will look back at today and we won't even be able to empathize with the mental models that we have right now because they are so over-indexed on chatbots and coding agents.”
