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

So the experience is like really, really stellar.

Like we were talking in the hallway earlier where you're like, oh my God, it's gotten so much better.

And I'm like, oh man, like just...

internally we're like, damn, this part really sucks.

And we got to make this significantly, significantly better.

There's a flagger, and there's been another one.

There's a thing that, like, Facebook has gatekeeper.

Because if you assume...

The software development lifecycle is 100% going to go in and change, but it's going to change because we're trying to do things a thousand times faster and a thousand times more concurrent than we were currently doing, right?

This is routing.

Yeah, right?

And so what ends up becoming important at scale, you know, before I even, you know, started Railway, I actually built a feature flagging product.

I tried to go in and sell it to people, right?

Because I was like, oh, it's like a, you know, like it's an easier version of like LaunchDarkly or whatever, right?

And I ran into this situation, which is like,

Anybody who's small enough to adopt your technology doesn't care about feature flags, right?

And then anybody who's large enough to try and actually need feature flags needs so much scale that you have to like build out all the existing infrastructure.

So end up scrapping that.

But it's what is old is new again, because now companies are trying to move really, really quickly.

But you can't just YOLO this like vibe coded thing straight into production.
