From a year ago. I still think this is underemphasized by coding agent companies....

Possibly too reductive, but a long term bear case against Retool is the declining need for the kinds of interfaces they enable. Automated workflows eliminate the need for custom interfaces.

Ideas/questions I'm interested in: - Autonomous loops are a new paradigm of enterprise software: sense, analyze, act. Sensors observe performance of key business activities, agents analyze these observations (sometimes combining multiple sensors), and decide best course of

A simple but very powerful idea: agents need computers. For consumers, that's @zo_computer. For developers building next generation agent products, that's @daytonaio.
Today I'm soft launching @zo_computer, the world's first AI computer. Most people could be creating way more with their computers. Instead, they're stuck consuming content made by other people. Zo Computer is a new kind of computer in the cloud, with an AI that "lives" in

Patterns of agent orchestration that I haven't yet seen productized: - Sampling: running multiple agents at the same task and choosing the preferred branch of work. - Actor-critic: supervisor agent that critiques agent output. AI code review is close to this but mostly

Two threads of thought about the future of how we build software with AI -- or put differently, what comes after Claude Code: - Sensors and loops: More and more of software development is shifting to autonomous loops: sensors that reflect health or performance and agent systems

Hosting a small dinner this evening in London for AI founders and operators and have an extra spot available. DM if you want to join!

Amazing time at @InfobipShift where I delivered a talk on the future of coding agents, the rise of agent orchestrators, and the long term possibility of an autonomous product org. Now on my way to London. If we’re mutuals or you’re building something great in AI or dev tools,

It does feel a bit surprising that (to my knowledge) none of the AI BI / data analyst tools have seen explosive growth of the sort we've seen from other similarly hyped categories.

Very excited to be speaking at @InfobipShift and share my perspective on how the next few years will play out in AI coding. Will also be passing through Munich and London. Hit me up if we should connect or if you have food and coffee recs!
🤖 From IDEs to Agents: the next chapter of coding is here. Don’t miss @pzakin's talk, Beyond the IDE, happening only at Infobip Shift Zadar. Few more tickets left: https://t.co/e0x8OCor49

Feel some sense of duty that if you meet a founder building something that suits a domain name you own, you should offer it up.

I've been slow in getting around to testing it, but Google Stitch is actually quite good.

One reason I spend a lot of time thinking about the future of AI coding tools is bc I think it anticipates how AI will unfold in other categories of work. My read of the current moment in AI coding tools is that we're seeing a transition at the application layer from agents to

Will be in SF later this week. If we're mutuals or you're building something great in dev tools or AI, hmu! A few things on my mind: - *Agent orchestrators*: tools that help people manage agents. In next-gen AI coding tools (I *love* the latest players here), this looks like
