Also, a belated update on our position paper ๐๐๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ ๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต. What Iโm especially proud of in the paper is the core argument: the next frontier for coding agents is not just more autonomy, but better human collaboration. As agents get stronger, the real bottleneck is increasingly whether people can align with them, steer them, verify their outputs, and trust them in real workflows. We turn that observation into concrete research agenda for building coding agents that are genuinely more useful.
The seed for this paper came from an early conversation with the awesome
@KLieret at
#NeurIPS. I later discussed the idea with
@jyangballin, which led to further conversations with
@ZhiruoW @Diyi_Yang, and the final paper was led by these folks together with a fantastic group of co-authors. Parts of the argument were also shaped by wonderful discussions at the
#DL4C workshops at
#ICLR and
#NeurIPS last year.
Check it out!
