Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

Okay.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

Maybe, I don't know.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

But I mean, the thing is at this stage, I think any more than three is more than you need.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

I think it's like two or three.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

Yeah, I think two or three, mostly just two though, where like you can almost do like a PM and an engineer, right?

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

That kind of thing.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

Yeah, you need accountability and responsibility.

Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

Most of the work at this point is like trying to figure out, okay, what is the problem we're actually trying to solve and defining that well?

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

Then you've come up with a rough structure for how to solve it.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source

But then the agent just does all the work.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

And then the other piece is like, is the user experience what we want it to be?

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

And then you just have to like tune it and polish it, right?

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

Because there's still like a difference between...

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

The output of an agent where somebody is iterated with it multiple times to produce a more polished product versus the one shot example.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

Right now, I think it's bespoke per team.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

Well, I think it's bespoke per team using whatever agentic tool they want, right?

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

And it's almost like...

Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

It's almost like when you hire somebody, a human, you train them on what you want them to do, right?
