software engineering

“If you're optimizing for cost, absolutely be remote. If you're optimizing for creativity, which I think that software and product building is a creative endeavor, if you're optimizing for creativity, it's kind of like composing an album. You can't do it on the…”

“Sweebench, you're starting in the context of an entire repository. And so it adds this entirely new dimension to the problem of finding the relevant files. And, you know, this is a huge part of real engineering”

“Certainly software engineering will be one of the disciplines most impacted. And I think that it's very, so like, I think if you're in this industry and you define yourself by the tools that you use, like how many characters you can type into Vim every day, th…”

“As a company gets larger, the, like, engineer goes from spending most of their time on, you know, working on the features that matter, and the kind of more, the more kind of value-driven work at a startup, To a very large company where you have giant code base…”

“And so, you know, I think software engineering, the job that we call software engineering is going to change, but I think practically, like, there's actually going to be way more software engineers than ever, you know, and I think there's a lot of precedent fo…”

“I think, you know, our demand for software to be built is actually probably a lot more than 10 X what we're currently getting, and so, you know, I think what happens is we get to open up the power of software engineering to a lot more people, and every single …”

“Code is not really built as you have a PRD and then you get some output out. It's more like you have a general vision and yes. And as you write the code, you get more and more clarity on approaches that don't work and do work. You're killing ideas and creating…”

“And so it's pretty clear to us that, you know, and we were starting to use it ourselves and sometimes we didn't understand what the code was doing, but you know, we shipped it. And so it's like, well, if this is clearly, this is going to happen a lot more. And…”

“So this is how we define the next-gen developer or the Tenex developer. You're strong in fundamentals of software engineering. You can use AI across all phases of SDLC. You have very good knowledge of AI concepts and you build with good taste and business acum…”

“Most programmers in the world cannot do IOI at any decent level. But, like, we're still struggling to, like, automate most programming jobs or, like, you know, there's a lot left to do.”

“If there was a lesson from what happened over the last year with software engineering, it's that Part of the acceleration from, ah, in software engineering came from better models, but part of it also came from the fact that you now have, ah, AI embedded into …”

“But no matter what, there's going to be 10 to a hundred times more code. So I think you can be very long engineering right now as just a, you know, purely on the dimension of software is going to become increasingly more important. Once agents are, you know, t…”

“Most of the economy does not have enough engineers to then maintain all those systems, to update to all those systems, to figure out the relationship between the business problem and what the code needs to do to go and actually manage that.”

“I don't believe the like software engineering is dead and there'll be more, no more coders. I think the way I would describe it is like the role of the software engineer will change from like write working code to like produce working code. Or like cause worki…”
