Harj Taggar(@harjtaggar):Developer tools are growing unusually fast because their power users are now agents and agents can write a lot more code than humans. As agents get used for more things, that same pattern should show up for any products used by agents to make better decisions for humans. An agent isn't going to buy me 10,000 jackets but it can search across 10,000 to find the one i should buy. If you're looking for startup ideas, it's worth asking what decisions will agents make on behalf of humans in the future and what infrastructure will they need to make them well?
