I started using these tools more for coding along the way with like Copilot and all these other things and IDE completion.

But I would say everything like really, really changed last year with the release of Opus 4 in the late May.

And I started using Clog code around the same time.

And I know people at that point were using Cursor and their Clog code was released in what, like February or March or something like that.

But so my experience...

of feeling like agentic coding is an experience, which I think is qualitatively different than

you know, completion and an IDE or anything like that happened, you know, I would say in June of last year.

And since then, you know, I, I basically adopted, I started using it internally and I used it essentially for like two or three weeks.

And at first I was just like, is this real?

Like, is this, I would like, couldn't believe how much it could actually do.

But I was still keeping it fairly constrained.

Right.

I would have, I would have like a well-defined problem and I

would say like, Hey, implement this function or write these tests or whatever.

But basically after like two or three weeks, I was just like, this is magic.

And I need to, at least within my company, I need to start spreading the gospel.

Right.

So I basically like wrote this like lengthy documents that I shared with my engineering team.

And I basically said like, all of you have to start using this.

And at the time,
