the next step function in engineering will not be models, it will be a code framework designed for agents not humans

if software is spec, what if we got AI to make specs that weren't slop? working on this (very inspired by the beauty of makingsoftware.com by @danhollick)

if your agent doesn't write design specs like this your ngmi

Really it depends on _what_ they're shipping. Good CODEOWNERS architecture can block non technical employees from touching critical paths and enable them to fix the never ending stream of nits edge cases customers experience.

It's amazing how bad the bolted on chatbots are.

I've been working on this wild product called Autobuild that basically prints software. I spend time collaborating on a spec and then it just goes. The code is good, review is automated, by the time it gets to me I'm testing a preview url and spot checking it. It's absolutely surreal watching a codebase evolve this fast and actually work. It feels like being able to do the work of 100 people. If you want to try it, hit me up.

This is one of the most dangerous things I've built with @obvious, a @shopgoodwill scanner for things I'm looking for.

Sure I'd like to refactor 113 tools

you wish you had a bot like this

going all in. let's do this. react chicago 2027 reactchicago.com @reactchicagocon

we were spending too much time "carrying water" between agents - here's a spec build it - address the pr comments - fix the failing CI so we made an agent for overseeing the SDLC e2e (Autobuild) we invited 10 startups to use it last week in SF (NYC next week!) what it does: - plans out entire feature builds across dozens of PRs - oversees the coding agents as they work - babysits PRs and addresses human and agentic review - conducts security, performance, and architectural reviews - QAs the work and records videos of the outcomes - monitors logs for issues after staging release - collects ux feedback from humans and address them - indexes all the concepts in your codebase - automatically writes updates to your team about what shipped - knows the current rollout state of features - maintains running sandboxes with a full dev env - dogfoods features before reporting success - engages with you in slack as it builds - automatically fixes reported issues - nags you for PR reviews when needed - optimizes your CI so it's not shit (big bottleneck for velocity) we're planning on making this the most insane building experience for established companies with a focus on quality/safety and human collaboration while accelerating velocity by 1-2 orders of magnitude if you want to join us in NYC next week (Thur/Fri - May 7/8) or future workshops lmk - we're onboarding up to 50 companies at a time by helping you ship 12 weeks of roadmap in 2 days - a sort of reset on baseline velocity no cost to attend beyond the inference you burn (you'll build a lot so not for the faint of heart)

tomorrow we kick off the 3rd cohort of startups we've invited to use Autobuild, the internal tool driving the insane autonomous build velocity at @obvious (nearing 1000 PRs a day from 10 engineers) each co is shipping 12 weeks of roadmap this is the frontier, build accordingly

We have the most cracked engineers at Obvious. Must-read if you're into how agents actually get built.

Last fall I joined @obvious and this week we made it available to the general public. Obvious creates things. It reasons through complex problems. Obvious is AI for the people. matthewgerstman.com/writing/…

"Obvious is not selling escape. It's selling return. Return to the work that matters. Return to the ambition you've been taught to negotiate away. Return to the idea that won't leave you alone."
