One thing that I think we try to recommend teams as they use more AI agents, it goes back to this like local testing thing.
In the end of the day, you want your agent to be able to do the full thing, not just write the code, but actually run it and test it.
And a lot of code bases were not necessarily built for this from the start.
For example, you probably do want a local DB set up, a local Docker Compose and Postgres in order to have it so that you don't need to give your agent any crazy prod credentials to actually run and test its code.
We've also internally done a big shift to make a lot of our core components of code testable as purely local dev without needing to actually integrate with any live services for this reason.
And obviously the older the company, the more you have to change to shift in this direction.
But you can use AI to help you perform this migration.
Especially when there's lots of different services and you have microservice architecture.
Making that shift, the larger the code base, the harder it is.
I guess if you did build it correctly from the very start, that could be possible.
But also, there are a lot of companies in the world that got started before Docker.
was the thing.
And so you're kind of forced to make a migration at some point.
Surprisingly, our team was not that interested in the leak.
We didn't spend that much time on it, surprisingly.
Yeah, I think for me, the biggest gap this is trying to close is, again, how do you make the testing process as fast as possible?
When it can test on its own and send you a video, it's freaking magical.
Sometimes there are just really difficult things that you do just need to pull down locally.
Yes.
And, you know, we just want Windsurf to just kind of be your, like, local command center of all your agents.
