Coding agents are no longer a distant idea—they're already starting to reshape how we work. YC's Tom Blomfield (Tom Blomfield) and David Lieb (David Lieb) discuss how AI coding tools are transforming software development, why small, high-agency teams will be able to do what once took armies of engineers,... and why there's never been a better time to start something new. They explore the bigger picture too: a future where there's more abundance, knowledge work becomes more accessible, and founders have more leverage than ever before. If you're thinking about building, there's no better moment than right now. 0:00 - Intro 0:46 - The combine harvester argument for AI 02:23 - Building with no-code tools 5:37 - The arguments against AI coding 7:01 - Jevons Paradox 9:26 - What happens to the software jobs of today? 12:16 - How will these tools affect knowledge work? 15:08 - An abundant future 16:21 - Advice for future foundersshow more

@t_blom @dflieb Cursor and Windsurf were just the beginning. Now we’re about to see tools built for the very tools that started as extensions themselves.

@t_blom @dflieb Absolutely, coding agents are already changing the game—smaller teams can now build bigger, faster, and smarter than ever before

@t_blom @dflieb "I'm skilled in MS Excel" is what's happening to coding.

@garrytan @t_blom @dflieb That's really interesting... I've been thinking about how coding agents could change the game for decentralized projects. Like, imagine if we could automate some of the more tedious tasks in web3 development. Would love to hear more about Tom Blomfield's thoughts on this...

Great discussion! Really resonated with the point about small, high-agency teams having more leverage than ever. Over the past month, I’ve been experimenting and was able to build 12 working apps (even created my own AI code editor). A year ago, I wouldn’t have thought this was possible. The leverage AI gives builders today is unreal.

@t_blom @dflieb We’re likely going to see a Cambrian explosion of personalized apps in the near future, but it wouldn’t take long before OpenAI or other major LLM to turn itself into a super app, generation on demand, that’ll allow users to do everything via its Command Line Interface.

We're entering a new era of software where a single person, working with AI agents, can build products that previously required entire teams. In this episode of the Lightcone Podcast, they break down the rise of AI coding agents, "tokenmaxxing", and the emerging workflows behind tools like Claude Code and OpenClaw. They discuss why AI systems today feel less like productivity tools and more like collaborators, why the future of AI should be personal and user-controlled, and how founders are starting to build software in completely new ways. 00:00 — Will you control your AI? 00:47 — Coding again after 13 years 01:56 — Rebuilding a startup with Claude Code 05:50 — Software that thinks like a journalist 07:09 — The rise of “tokenmaxxing” 10:07 — The accidental creation of GStack 14:21 — The workflow behind 400x output 20:59 — Thin Harness, Fat Skills 24:35 — AI agents are like Ferraris 27:12 — The future of personal AI 38:37 — Buying back time with tokens

Many AI apps today feel like the "horseless carriages" of the late 19th century, which "swapped a horse for an engine without redesigning the vehicle to handle higher speeds." They pack powerful tech into outdated interfaces. YC's Pete Koomen (Pete Koomen) thinks we can do better. He joined Tom Blomfield and David Lieb to lay out a new vision for how AI should actually work: not as a chatbot bolted onto legacy software, but as a customizable tool that helps people offload the work they don't want to do.

AI can’t yet one-shot an entire product—but with the rise of vibe coding, supercharged developers are getting close. Part intuition and experimentation, part validation, it's the new frontier of software development. YC's Tom Blomfield (Tom Blomfield) has spent the last month building side projects with tools like Claude Code, Windsurf, and Aqua, seeing just how far you can push modern LLMs. From writing full-stack apps to debugging with a single copy paste of an error message, AI is becoming a legit collaborator in the dev process. With tips from YC founders in the Spring batch, this is a playbook for anyone who wants to get the most out of vibe coding and build faster.

Jensen Huang just said this is the greatest era in history to build software. AI agents will not kill software. They will do the exact opposite: create a massive new wave of software demand. at NVIDIA GTC Taipei 2026 "Click and type. We now replace that with explaining to the AI what we want, our intent, and the AI generates the code or uses tools to produce the necessary output. This is how computers are going to work in the future. This is Agentic AI. For two years, we've been building toward this, and now it has arrived. One of the big breakthroughs, of course, is tool use. A lot of people have said, “Jensen, AI is coming. Agentic AI is coming. Therefore, all the software companies are going to go out of business.” This is exactly the opposite. Because there are going to be so many agents, the world is no longer limited by the number of people. Therefore, those agents are going to use more tools than ever. This is actually an incredible time to be a software company. But the software has to be presented to the agent in a way that the agent can use it. This is a big breakthrough.

This is probably the biggest news yet in software going headless, and will bring knowledge work agents to the masses. The new ChatGPT agents have access to any of the tools and data you want to work with, with complete coding and tool use available to them. Here's an example of a custom sales assistant agent uses Box as a knowledge source for accessing enterprise content securely to answer questions and generate new content on the fly. The workflows can obviously vastly far more complex as the agent can use any of the tools within Box available via MCP and CLI. This precisely what agents will start to look like for knowledge work. You'll be able to spin them up in the foreground or background to help augment work. Big opportunity right now for headless platforms, and for all the new builders and designers of these agents in the enterprise.

Michael Truell (Michael Truell), co-founder and CEO of Anysphere, the company behind Cursor, joined Garry Tan to talk about building one of the fastest-growing startups of all time—and why he's betting everything on a world beyond code. He walks through the early insights that led him and his co-founders to leave a promising AI-powered CAD project and instead chase a bigger dream: reinventing how software is written. From the hard years of false starts and rewrites to Cursor's breakthrough moment, Michael explains what it really takes to build a tool that could eventually replace programming as we know it. He also reflects on their first 10 hires, why taste still matters, and how the decade ahead will unlock a new kind of creativity for builders everywhere. 01:00 - A new way to build software 04:50 - Two ways to view LLMs 05:50 - Bottlenecks to superhuman agents 08:30 - New approaches to coding UI 09:40 - Why taste still matters 12:15 - Niche software opportunities 13:30 - Cursor origin story 16:00 - The first problem they tried solving 17:20 - Why they abandoned the CAD idea 21:00 - Pivoting to Cursor 23:00 - Following the scaling laws 27:00 - Getting to PMF 30:00 - “Dogfooding” 31:00 - First 10 hires 32:50 - How to evaluate great engineers 33:45 - Maintaining the hacker mindset 35:00 - What are the moats for AI coding tools? 37:00 - Looking ahead

I went to Miami to chat with dax, co-founder of OpenCode. We talked about the future of software engineering, coding agents, and why open source matters more now than ever. Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 5:30 Miami vs San Francisco tech scene 15:05 OpenCode origin story, scaling while open-source 25:03 OpenCode vs. Anthropic: owning models, open-source AI 33:36 AI hardware shortages, predicting the future 42:15 The bet of open-weight models, China vs. US 48:34 Why inference is hard, economics of intelligence 55:36 Will developers be automated? Software engineering as a craft 1:11:02 Advice to founders, building in public, marketing I had so much fun making this with Lan. Enjoy!
