So I think as a software developer, because you understand how these things work, you'll also be able to go even further.

the coolest thing about working at, at factory is the, is being able to be surrounded by, you know, what is clearly the most talent dense, interesting and motivated group of people that I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

Like the team here is truly next level.

And I think that the, you know, just outside these doors right here, you know, you have people who are responsible for

at many companies, you know, stripe at, at deep mind at, uh, at Uber, they were integral to building, you know, software that we all use on a daily basis.

And now they're basically, you know, single-mindedly focused on bringing autonomy to software engineering.

So when you bring a group of people that are extremely motivated and very talented to work very hard on a very hard problem, you get this like very exciting moment where, uh,

you know, it just feels every day like something new is happening.

You're constantly surprised, you know, and I think that all of this just really makes for a really exciting and fun time.

You know, no matter what the next couple of years look like, I think that already just being able to meet these great people is like everything that I could have asked for.

I think that my advice would be to try to understand what part of differentiation you'd like to introduce when building your agent.

I think that there's the classic statement about...

you know, basically like build versus buy, like don't build anything that doesn't contribute to your core differentiation or competency.

If you are building a product that is agentic, you might consider using something like Droid in exec mode, basically our like headless CLI that gives you an agent agent

that lets you wipe the system prompt, that gives you compaction, that gives you all of the bells and whistles, but then lets you fully customize how you want this agentic system to work.

If you want to bring it more into a programmatic session, you can use Anthropix Agent SDK.

But if you want to build the agent from scratch and replicate things like compaction and own things, what I would say is...

pay a lot of attention to the use case you care about and don't worry about all these details like compaction.

You can honestly probably paste our blog post and then paste that into Droid and then paste your code base and implement something that's basically just as good as our compaction if you really want to.

But don't worry about that stuff.
