The Pragmatic Engineer
Building OpenCode with Dax Raad

Now our task is to kind of hit the potential that we have.

The Pragmatic Engineer
Building OpenCode with Dax Raad

And the issue for us is there's a million different directions we can go in.

The Pragmatic Engineer
Building OpenCode with Dax Raad

There's all the obvious stuff we can do.

The Pragmatic Engineer
Building OpenCode with Dax Raad

There's all the stuff that our users are telling us that we have to do.

The Pragmatic Engineer
Building OpenCode with Dax Raad

There's stuff that our competitors are doing.

The Pragmatic Engineer
Building OpenCode with Dax Raad

And it's very easy to just one-to-one do each one of those things because

The Pragmatic Engineer
Building OpenCode with Dax Raad

we have a problem prompt the agent competitor has a feature prompt the agent user has a problem prompt the agent if you add that up you think oh we shipped a thousand features now that adds it to a good product it actually adds it to a horrible product yeah nothing's cohesive you look in there you're like we shouldn't have shipped this the moment you ship something you're stuck supporting it forever and by supporting it means any future feature you build is gonna like interact with it so

You still have to be very conservative with what you put out there.

The Pragmatic Engineer
Building OpenCode with Dax Raad

It's hard to undo anything.

The Pragmatic Engineer

Just because we can ship 10 times more doesn't mean we have 10 times as many good ideas to ship out there.

The Pragmatic Engineer
Building OpenCode with Dax Raad

And like understanding that, yes, our process can look very different, but should it look very different?

The Pragmatic Engineer
Building OpenCode with Dax Raad

Like we, you know, we we've done in the past six months, we've kind of operated very differently than we ever have.

The Pragmatic Engineer
Building OpenCode with Dax Raad

A lot of stuff went wrong because of that.

The Pragmatic Engineer
Building OpenCode with Dax Raad

So now we're pulling back and figuring out, okay, what from the old world still makes sense.

The Pragmatic Engineer
Building OpenCode with Dax Raad

So yeah, we're like figuring out what we should be doing.

The Pragmatic Engineer
Building OpenCode with Dax Raad

And I definitely don't feel like, oh yeah, we're like killing all our competitors.

The Pragmatic Engineer
Building OpenCode with Dax Raad

We're using AI so much better than everyone else.

The Pragmatic Engineer
Building OpenCode with Dax Raad

Um,

The Pragmatic Engineer

And by the way, none of our competitors are crushing us either.
