We're now fully into like the coding agent space, like history of the company.

Obviously we started as a, as a terminal, but the terminal form factor

is the preferred form factor for doing agentic work at this point.

Whether you're using like a terminal app like Cloud Code and Warp, you just literally use the GUI app to do it.

And so every single coding task we do starts with a prompt, which is the big shift in productivity that's happening right now.

We don't necessarily finish every task with a prompt.

There's certain things that are too hard.

It doesn't matter which tool you're using, but everything starts with a prompt.

Then we try to get all the way to completion if we can with prompt.

That's funny.

It sounds kind of stupid.

It's like, oh, start with a prompt.

The general thing is like, are you starting with some expression of human intent?

And I'm using prompt for shorthand of that.

And it's more than just you're writing some paragraph or something.

It's like, what's going to matter more and more is the total context that the model has available to it.

And that context is going to come from more and more places.

It's not just going to come from a person saying to do something.

But yeah, I think generally, if you're doing something creative and it's not totally deterministic what needs to be done, there needs to be some expression to the computer from a builder to do the thing.

It's not going to read your mind.
