Slack: Amp only runs tests correctly 90-95% of the time
“Even with a good agents that MD guidance about how to run tests, I still see with AMP. And I think, you know, we've tried to make this really good. It only gets it right maybe 90, 95% of the time. Sometimes it'll run the wrong testing or it won't escape it cor…”

Slack: Users of cheaper, mid-tier AI coding tools will churn within months
“There's absolutely a market today, literally today, someone will pay a monthly fee for that cheaper AI product today. But they're not going to be paying that in six months. It's going to be a different product, or they're going to be paying for something else.”

Slack: MCP as user-facing tech creates high token costs and bad UX
“As a user facing technology, it is such a common failure mode where a user will go and add in some MCP servers. Auth is a huge pain, but let's say they get over that hurdle. Then they have, I don't know, 50 tools exposed that often are too low level granularit…”

Slack: Sourcegraph skips months-long compliance checklists for Amp using existing trust
“So there's a lot of things on AMP that we do, like no consistent pricing, no user model choice, no checking off all the boxes that security and compliance and legal want that, you know, takes nine months. We're able to get away without doing that stuff because…”

Slack: Most devs using coding agents lack proper Playwright automated testing
“The vast majority of devs who are building web applications with coding agents do not have play, right? And if they have it is set up in such a shitty way where it cannot really log into their app. They don't have any pattern for that.”

Slack: AI tools like Cursor and Claude Code will peak and decline
“A lot of these other tools that are great, like cloud code and codex and cursor and so on that they've forgotten what made them great and what made them grow so fast, which is building the very best product. And they built it in a way that's too overfit on the…”

Slack: Maintaining legacy workflows creates negative value in fast AI cycles
