If you know who José Valim is, then you know he probably made a mistake by joining me for our third installment of 🔥Hotfix🔥. The inventor of the Elixir programming language is at it again with his colleagues at Dashbit and they've got a new product called Tidewave. It's a coding agent with a twist: it has such a deep level of integration with your web framework that it can get the executable feedback it needs to tackle the entire feature development lifecycle. I do eventually let him plug the tool (and our conversation genuinely makes me want to try it—I logged a todo and everything!), but to be on Hotfix you gotta bring a thorny problem to the table, and he picked a great one: marketing hype aside, nobody has a clue what the future of AI agents looks like. Like always, we totally 100% and A+ solved the problem by correctly predicting the future. You gotta listen to find out. Every time I talk to José, I get ideas for what I should be doing instead of what I'm actually doing. If you feel so inspired, write into [email protected] and I'll read it on the next mainline version release of Breaking Change. You can follow José on Bsky, X, and Mastodon. Pick your poison. ☠️
