Why invest so much in thread sharing? In addition to being a coding agent, Amp is a learning tool. Agentic coding is a high-ceiling skill. It's both energizing and educational to surf and see what others are building.

Pushed a new Amp thread feed today. It's now easier to scroll through your teammates' threads, see who's making big edits, and learn from how others are prompting. Check out all the agentic coding we do as a team!

We make fun of Europe for inventing cookie banners, but we also invented 7 different ways to auth (the first six of which don't work and the 7th requires taking a picture of a QR code using the very device that's displaying it).

Super fast tab completion and edits are now in VS Code, brought to you by Amp, for those instances where you want to do more surgical edits to code.
Amp Tab is now 30% faster. We worked with Baseten to switch to TensorRT-LLM and KV caching with speculative decoding. The new lookahead decoding also reduces draft tokens and compute per iteration by using improved n-gram candidate selection and variable-length speculations.

The question now is to what extent self pedagogy will work with an individual who is porting a meta-cognitive framework from a different domain. My dad is technical, but in chemistry, not computer science. Can he teach Amp to teach him how to think like a computer scientist?.

One of the things I noticed in watching my dad use Amp is how big an impact knowing what questions to ask has on what you can get out of AI. I can teach right answers very quickly but right questions? Far more difficult to articulate to a novice.

Recently I’ve stopped listening to podcasts and just turn on ChatGPT voice and ask it about a topic of intellectual interest. So far, it’s more engaging and I think I end up learning more?.

This Amp goes to 11, baby!.
As a heavy Claude Code user, I was skeptical about the Amp buzz. But I tried it and it was immediately useful. Now I'm diving deep to understand what makes it tick, what it's best at, and best practices. Join to get the inside scoop from @Sourcegraph CEO.

Like anyone else feeling some variant of this?
Anyone else finding agentic coding distorting what they're eager to work on? Like, coding agents make everything easier, but some things are so trivially easy that the less easy stuff seems harder by comparison. You almost have to be conscious of how the dopamine paths in your.

God is in the details and there is a ton of detailed work that goes into the refinement of feedback loops and hooks in Amp. For instance, one of the things you'll notice is that Amp generates well-formatted code but wastes far less time and tokens on linting than other agents,.

If you've never built an agent and are looking for a fun, effortless, interactive way to make one, paste this into your terminal:. echo 'build me a simple agent using | npx @sourcegraph/amp. Then have the agent you just created explain how it works.
