Latent Space: The AI Engineer Podcast · Railway: The Agent-Native Cloud — Jake Cooper · 20 May 2026 podcast

And then we have some power users kind of all the way down.

We came back from the winter break and I was basically like,

if you're writing code by hand, you are doing this wrong, right?

Like, the tools are good enough at this point, like, that you can move extremely, extremely quickly.

And, like, yes, there are issues and pain points and all these other things, but you should be reviewing the code that you are writing instead of trying to go in and write it by hand.

Like, all of those architectural patterns, all of those other things, like, you're not going to throw them in the garbage or whatever.

Actually, they matter more now than any other time, but you just shouldn't spend your time generating code

that you would write like if you know how to go in and write it just like ask the agent to go in and write it and then reconcile it until it looks like you would have written it yourself right and I think incidentally like people misconstrue my propensity to like push people towards agents for like hey we're growing really really fast and we've had some kind of like bumps in real life like they're not necessarily related in terms of that but I think people should really really understand like the tools are good enough for you to be able to move extremely extremely quickly to build things way way larger than you could have

possibly built before, right?

And so to our point way earlier about like, how do you cool data centers in space?

It's like, well, I don't know actually, right?

But you're at a point now with software, you can actually be like, well, how would I build block storage from scratch?

How would I go in and do these things?

I have ideas because I've got history and I've read all these papers in general, right?

Let me go in and work them out in general and let me build like massive test benches with like thousands

thousands of tests right because they're free to they're free to author right now right to go in and make sure that like this system can now can can be built right and i think that if you're not using the the kind of ai systems to almost like speed run your roadmap to like go in and figure out where you need to go in and be to reconcile your existing system onto the future then you're kind of missing a large point of of what is currently happening right now

Right.

Because you can just template out anything and validate it on the side for free.

I think for most companies, it's actually bound by deployment at this point in time.

And I think that's why we've seen a lot of, like, a massive boon in terms of, like, users trying, like, not just users, like, companies, like, you know, Fortune companies.
