coding agent

“The coding agents especially just seems so far ahead of all the other general purpose agents right now.”

“Obviously giving the model a way to check its work helps improve performance drastically. So the more that you can run tests and lint CI, et cetera.”

“The coding agents right now are really, really smart, but not smart enough to run on their own for long periods of time”

“I do feel like the best or the people who will get the most out of coding agents in the future are going to be kind of like more manager, like where they're focusing on directing flows in certain ways. They're probably going to be a little bit more like design…”

“I think context poisoning is a real thing where it kind of like goes down one loop and it will continue because it has this persistence, but it's referring back to tokens, which are like not Right in terms of pursuing a solution. And so one thing that I often …”

“It's, like, difficult to change the user's mental model, and so I, at least for myself building products, it's like, you have to think about that Very carefully from an early stage, because again, whatever you supply to the coding agents as that kind of kernel…”

“I will say it does help open source disproportionately, I would say. Like, I don't know if you all saw there's a ramp blog post that they recently published about building their own coding agent, and they were mentioning that they use open code as a harness be…”

“I would say we're five, but I think in terms of software output, we're probably closer to a 25 people team.”

“The reason Excel sheet agents got better is because coding got better. The reason, like, you know, some commerce agents are starting to work is because they can call APIs and they can, so coding turned out to be a bit of a hack or workaround”

“What took three months to build at the time that we, each company built over the whole YC startup, could now be done with, like, in, like, seven minutes by a coding agent”

“A use of a coding agent that works extremely well, is you can ask today's models to translate software from one computer language to another very effectively, because in that case, you actually have a incredibly detailed specification. You have the whole softw…”
