Hot take: I think it's still important to understand the code that our agents write! In this mega thread (based on my AIE talk today), I will explain why that's the case, and show some ideas for how to efficiently understand code. Alright, let's dive in. 1/



Meet the Notion Agents iOS app. A voice note. A photo of a napkin sketch. A question at 11pm. All handled before you're back at your desk. A team of agents, in your pocket.


the hard part is that "sovereign stack" and "model fungibility" pull in opposite directions. teams want optionality across models, but the deeper agents get into memory, tools, and workflows, the more each model stack starts to accumulate its own switching costs. that tension is probably where a lot of the next infra gets built.




The answer is to separate your context from your intelligence. Keep your knowledge, memory, and workflows in @NotionHQ (or similar), and let models compete to serve that context. The moment your context lives inside one model, you’ve handed over your moat.
