“I just think that the reason why terminals are great and it feels really great when you code is because of the way it can interact with an LLM with the text stream. And I think that both can be true that humans will continue to commit code and will find new ways to actually do that, whether it's in the IDE, whether it's in GitHub, Copilot, whether it's in some new development environment, and I think that we'll do that with agents and agents will do that with each other and we'll continue to evolve from there.”

I just think that the reason why terminals are great and it feels really great when you code is because of the way it can interact with an LLM with the text stream. And I think that both can be true that humans will continue to commit code and will find new ways to actually do that, whether it's in the IDE, whether it's in GitHub, Copilot, whether it's in some new development environment, and I think that we'll do that with agents and agents will do that with each other and we'll continue to evolve from there. We had Bret Taylor in the podcast, founder of Sierra, and he had a similar prediction that all software companies are going to become agent companies and it's essentially what you're saying here is that your software will just be this thing that's running in the background and there's much less of a GUI. Do you think it still becomes this chat interface the way we're getting used to? Is that the primary interface with agents or is anything something else happening there?…
