Raising an Agent, S2E3: When Tokens Flow Like Electricity. Quinn Slack and Thorsten Ball on what happens when intelligence gets cheap: build vs. buy flips, why everyone building software to build software to do X is probably incorrect, and when software starts to feel like owning a house instead of renting one. 00:00 Intro: Cheap intelligence & doing X instead of building software to do X 01:06 Back home after Munich & what's changed in how we build 02:06 Predictions: the price of intelligence drops, tokens flow like electricity 05:54 Everyone is building dev tools & why that's the wrong bet 06:57 Pet theory: engineers can't believe it's this easy 10:33 Orbs vs. EC2, a VPN & tmux 17:18 Build vs. buy when the models keep changing 20:14 If Amp is worth buying, why isn't an issue tracker? 27:34 Killing features & vibe coding the 2% of a SaaS product you need 30:03 Build on a solid core: glue code is the worst part 33:19 The two Amps: jellyware, homeowners & renters 37:01 Exporting the Amp way to more teams 43:42 Opinionated software from people you trust

Episode 2 of Raising an Agent Season 2: Orbs and Jellyware. Quinn Slack and Thorsten Ball recorded this one together in person in Munich last week, where the whole Amp team had gathered for a week of building. They discuss why isolated Orbs make it easier to run agents in parallel, how the team asks agents for exhaustive verification, and how production itself can become a feedback loop. They also discuss jellyware: high-quality software that is designed to change quickly. When agents make software more malleable, teams can fix bugs faster and raise the quality bar instead of lowering it. 00:00 Intro: Agents in Orbs & production feedback loops 01:17 Recording together in Munich & what shipped since episode 1 03:56 How the Amp team adopted Orbs 07:00 Giving agents safe production access 11:01 Zero-friction threads & the limits of local checkouts 13:02 Asking agents for 100% proof 18:54 Production as a feedback loop 22:15 Multiplayer & agents as collaborative tools 24:13 Design workflows with Portals 27:27 High-quality software beyond vibe coding 31:17 How code review changes when agents write the code 35:26 Dictation & getting better context into agents 39:08 Jellyware: high-quality software that changes fast 42:27 Faster bug fixes, feedback & the quality budget 49:34 What Amp shipped: subscriptions, Puck, and agent communication 51:42 Automations, polling, and webhooks
