Specialized coding agents got AI development off the ground. But as general-purpose models like Claude Code and Gemini CLI have matured, the real leverage is shifting up a layer — to orchestration. This is where engineering teams coordinate many agents at once with parallelism, clean workspaces, and human oversight built in. Louis Knight-Webb, co-founder of […]
Why Code Review Will Determine Who Wins in the AI Era
For decades, software engineering was defined by writing code. But that balance has shifted. With AI code agents producing high-quality output in seconds, the bottleneck isn’t generation anymore, it’s everything around it: reviewing, merging, testing, and governing the changes. We’ve entered a new frontier where engineers spend less time typing and more time orchestrating. Writing […]
SWE Agents are Better with Codemods
Coding assistants like Cursor have brought us into a new era of programming.But there’s a class of programming tasks that remain outside their reach: large-scale, systematic modifications across large codebases. You wouldn’t ask an AI to delete all your dead code or reorganize your entire component hierarchy—the tooling just isn’t there. That’s where codemods come in. A […]
Act via Code
Two and a half years since the launch of the GPT-3 API, code assistants have emerged as potentially the premier use case of LLMs. The rapid adoption of AI-powered IDEs and prototype builders isn’t surprising—code is structured, deterministic, and rich with patterns, making it an ideal domain for machine learning. Developers actively working with tools […]
Your AI Is Writing Bad Docs Because It Lacks Context
It’s a truth universally acknowledged: every engineering team wrestles with the problem of documentation. So it goes. Obviously, AI can help document your code. But only if you use it strategically. At one extreme, you hand over your Github repo to an LLM and find that it’s added a long docstring on top of every […]
