@ArBose explains why AI has made writing code the easy part of software development, while deciding what to build has become the real bottleneck:
"Because the cost of writing code has dropped so dramatically with coding agents, what’s become way more important is getting aligned on the strategy, on the outcomes you’re trying to build, and ensuring your entire R&D team are aligned on those outcomes."
"Even two years ago, the most interesting cost was ensuring that the developer was spending the right time on the right ticket."
"Now it’s figuring out what tickets do you even want to prioritize, and are they written with the right level of context so that the coding agent gets it right the first time, versus get back some slop that you’ll end up rewriting."
"You go from high quality PRDs that generate agent-ready tickets, and you can trigger these swarms of coding agents in whatever coding agent of choice. We partner with OpenAI Codex, we partner with SpaceXSI’s Cursor, we also have integrations with GitHub Copilot live right now."
