AI coding agents

“I wouldn't go all the way and suggest they should pivot, but I do think companies that are building AI coding agents or AI program engineers are potentially have stuff to think about here, because it seems like O-One in particular is like outperforming on just…”

“Each tool has a slightly different naming convention, but I know founders who've written hundreds of lines of instructions for their AI coding agent, and it makes them way, way, way more effective.”

“I think we have a clear line of sight between where we are today and like improvements over the next three, six and 12 months. They're going to have quite stark consequences for software engineering, I think.”

“In general, I think that kind of the more senior, senior you are, the more you benefit because the agents are so good at taking some sort of idea and then putting it into action.”

“And I think it's going to be very strange as, like, these individual teams of, like, one person are like, hey, that team over there isn't doing the right thing, like, let me just build a prototype that, like, works better. I think at some point it's going to s…”

“I mean, I still think context window is like probably the number one limit. Like if you look at cloud code executing, it's delegating to all these different context windows. At the end of the day, when each one comes back, it's like getting some sort of summar…”

“A database tool and like a knock on effect for that for YC company is Superbase has just seen like an explosion at the demand for databases, right? And the age was interesting is the agents are choosing Superbase as a default tool to like set up and host their…”

“Like, because if you like go out and read the documentation online, like Superbase has the best documentation is reasonable for the agents to assume that that's like the best tool to use.”

“If you give your agents the same in front during the build time and the same in front during the deploy time, Then the sort of like during this like deployment phase, you don't encounter those many problems.”

“The importance of specifying what you, what it is you want has actually gone up, because before you'd be handing it off to a very intelligent human who maybe has context or can ask you follow-up questions and agents can sometimes do that, but I think clear spe…”
