Handshake CEO Garrett Lord explains why AI agents exploded in software engineering but not the rest of white-collar work: "In software engineering, the average engineer is two, three, four times more productive. Software engineering agents are able to operate for multiple days at a time, automating hundreds of hours...

@GarrettLord I thought it was because code is very deterministic and easy to train a model on plus better coding capabilities make training models easier

.Aaron Levie says AI agents may take years to diffuse from engineering into the rest of knowledge work. "The models are really good at code, and the work is verifiable." "You have 5 or 10 things that make agents work in an enterprise context for engineering." "The users are less technical, the data is much more fragmented, the systems are much more legacy." "That's why it's going to be a number of years for this diffusion to roll from what we're seeing in Silicon Valley, into the rest of knowledge work."

Introducing Coldtea. The ADE for shipping self-driving software. Purpose-built for the entire software lifecycle. Other IDEs optimise for one thing: Build. Run more agents in parallel, ship faster, orchestrate better. But software engineering is not just about building. Coldtea AI brings your coding agents, agentic end-to-end testing, and production monitoring agents into ONE development environment, so you can move at agent speed without breaking anything.

Scott Wu says Karpathy's idea of jagged intelligence explains why humans and AI work best together. AI is superhuman at some tasks, shockingly weak at others. “As long as that tail exists of what humans can do, that's what we'll own.” We still decide what to build. In the end, software engineering is just telling the computer what to do.

Dario claims that AI will write basically all code, and that within a year thereafter a large share of software engineering jobs will be lost. While his prediction about the automation of coding is right, the conclusion about jobs does not follow. Coding models are differentially automating coding. But there are many more things that matter, such as making good design decisions and understanding what users want. Progress on these is much slower. As coding is automated, engineering effort is reallocated toward these other things, which raises the overall output of the industry. It also raises the marginal value of the time engineers spend creating software.

When the way software is built changes, we help companies adopt it. For over a decade, that meant bringing React Native to production across mobile, web, desktop, and TV. Now we are expanding that same mission to AI-native engineering: helping teams ship software with agents, safely and at scale. This is our new manifesto.

We raised $8m to build self-healing software. In 2026, software moves fast. But monitoring and observability are still manual and slow. Sazabi is a next-generation observability platform for fast-moving engineering teams. Not another AI SRE. Not another LLM observability tool. A new, general solution to observability that works for any workload (including agents) and leverages AI for maximum speed and automation. Time to suit up.

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. And in fact, what we have done, as you know, what Nvidia’s treasure..." ---- From 'NVIDIA' YT channel (link in comment)

Stripe's John Collison thinks people who think AI means the death of software engineering are "all high, honestly." "All these people calling the death of software engineering are smoking something." "You're able to work with AI so much better if you understand the underlying concepts, and you're so much better prepared for that." "To be really effective working with AI, you need to understand what it's doing, and what's going on under the hood. You need to understand the model, and the memory. And then you have your harnesses, and you've got your skills, and how they all interact."

#WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: On the Jevons paradox and software demand expansion, Neelkanth Mishra, Executive Director Designate of the World Bank, says, “…If you think about what the major cost of a software firm is, it is people. So, if the writing of software is getting automated, those firms will be the first to make adjustments. But on the whole, it seems that the Jevons paradox—which dictates that as the cost of writing software falls, the amount of software written goes up—is actually playing out. If an XYZ company, which is a product company, was spending, say, $100 million on writing software and can now do it for $70 million, they might need to lay off some people; that is their business priority. But if the amount of software written goes up three to four times, the number of software engineers in the ecosystem will not change… This panic and paranoia about massive job losses is something that I think is, at this stage, unfounded.”

The cost of software is going to zero. So what actually wins in 2030? Michael Watson (Ex-Citadel Head of Equities Engineering, now running Hedgineer): "The value accrual goes to companies that can offer incredible experiences." "The forward deployed engineer is the product." "The software they leave behind is going closer and closer to zero. But the FDE — that is the experience you want." "We take turnaround times from quarters down to hours." SaaS margins compress. The expertise behind the software doesn't. That's the model.
