LLMs have opened the door to for a new generation of software yet most people in this new space are building software either for software engineers or software that requires so much familiarity with coding tools as to exclude all but other SWEs. The appetite from SWE adjacent

It is incredibly hard to build safety into tool-use-enabled-LLM-front-ends. Benign service accounts with access "tools" are trivial to privilege escalate in some obvious and non-obvious ways. (see: blackhat.com/us-24/briefing… for a primer) With frameworks like ADK

The C-suites are back on the wagon of talking about how much code is AI-authored, but the real productivity boom is happening in silence. While AI writing XX% of code is a clear win, the most transformative value is emerging outside the coding stack and is being driven by

Lifecycle of recent products under dev: 1. 👀 see a bug 2. 📰 file a bug 3. 🤖 open IDE and say fix the bug 4. 👀 code-review uses 🤖 to find defects 5. 🤖 open IDE and say fix code review {3,4,5} are near collapsing into one step - who is working on compressing {1,2}?
