After coding 100% agentic for 6 months, my key observation is that software design is more important than ever.

Writing code is cheap
Maintaining code is not cheap
Anyone who's hired an external contractor knows this
Jonathan Ross@JonathanRoss321
For 50 years, software engineering ran on code rationing. Writing code was expensive, so we rationed it carefully through roadmaps, RFCs, prioritization meetings, and scope reviews. This created a role: the No Engineer. No, that won't scale. No, we don't have bandwidth. No, that's out of scope. No, we need a design doc first. The No Engineer was valuable for 50 years. Every "no" saved real money. Their judgment was the rationing system. LLMs will be the end of code rationing. Code is cheap now. And while the No Engineer is explaining why something can't be done, the Yes Engineer has already shipped three versions of it. If you're a Yes Engineer, the next decade is yours.

@o_kwasniewski Cool insights, never knew about the accessibility tree. Are you guys testing accessibility by default or only if someone sets up an accessibility-specific test?

On a personal note: I started a company!
I'm super excited to be building with my longtime best friend @DeanStratakos
I wrote a bit more below on why code review is dying and why we don't think it has to be this way 👇

@ChShersh It’s like the kids in college who would skip lectures as soon as they hear attendance is optional. People are lazy

I miss the toxic tech culture of receiving 50+ code review comments.
Now everyone just pushes AI slop and doesn’t care as long as CI is green.

@wesbos New ways for you to look through a PR to understand what your agents are cooking. The basic diff view isn’t cutting it anymore

Demoed @runtm_ai to a room of CTOs and a room of YC batchmates in the same week.
The CTOs laughed at the git push --force joke. Batchmates didn't.
Give it a year. They'll be commanding hundreds of agents and the joke will land.

every tech executive is talking about making it so anyone on the team can ship code
this means engineers focus on guardrails, patterns, etc to allow for this to happen safely
but this isn't new! this has always been the job of the senior people on the team, make the less experienced people more productive
and you do this by being really good at designing code, and you're gonna have to be really really really good to allow your marketing team to ship changes without things breaking

Introducing Stage, a modern code review platform that you’ll actually want to use. We got tired of using GitHub to review AI generated code so we rebuilt the review process around the way you already naturally think, letting you ship faster and with more confidence. Try it out on your next PR and let us know what you think:

A talk I gave a few weeks ago.
Software fundamentals matter more than ever. Here's why:
