So the thought I had in December

which is basically the tail end of last year, is like, I don't know if developer ergonomics matter as much anymore because developers aren't going to actually be writing the software.

What matters is actually like, how easy is it for an agent to use?

And it's funny, actually, Wes McKinney

uh had a post probably like two weeks ago where he mentioned this he was like you know he he's he mentioned like instead of designing for developer ergonomics maybe you should be designing for agent ergonomics because that's what's creating the software going forward right and he used as his example he's been lately

writing a bunch of Go code, but he doesn't write it and the agent writes it.

He's never been a Go developer before.

He's a Python guy or C guy.

So I think that's very true.

And when I was thinking about InfluxDB, I was like, well, what does it look like if an agent is writing most of the code?

One.

And two, you want to make it so that people can quickly...

use whatever code they're having the agent create.

And the idea I had there was like, well, then you want the database to essentially be like a platform for running agent written code.

So how do you do that?

Well, you need some sort of safety in there.

Right.

So the idea was like Wasm.

Wasm is great because you can put a Wasm runtime in the database.

You can sandbox it.
