The Pragmatic Engineer(@Pragmatic_Eng):It's rare to see a non-AI frontier lab build an in-house AI coding tool that works so much better than what frontier labs have to offer. Ramp did this with Inspect: an AI coding harness fully integrated with their systems, running on cloud machines, and being a smash hit inside the company. Ramp basically runs full-blown cloud development environments (CDEs) for agents to build code on, and validate it, and has made this tool "multi-player" by default, with no opt out. We find it likely that the likes of Codex, Claude Code and GitHub Copilot will build similar tooling in a few months' time to what Ramp already has in-place. Deepdive:
