01 / observation

This has been my experience with platform teams in the past, where you have an envelope of acceptable build times and you let it go up to breach and then you spend two, three weeks to bring it back down to the lower end of the average low bed stop.

In the same way, you would have a full stack engineer be able to drive a feature from the backend all the way to the front end.

The structure of the repository is like 500 NPM packages. It’s like architecture to the excess for what you would consider, I think normal for a seven person team.

04 / uncertainty

We were up in the five to 10 PRS per day per engineer. And I don’t know about y’all, but like it’s very taxing to constantly be switching like that.

I think your intuition is right, that it’s very great for spiking out prototypes, exploring ideas quickly, doing those documentation updates.

08 / prediction

We expect that there will be some harness things there. Agents, SDK is a core [00:59:00] part of this to enable both startup builders as well as enterprise builders to have a works by default harness that is able to use all the best features of our models from the Shell tool down to the Codex Harness with file attachments and containers and all these other things that we know go into building highly reliable, complex agents.

Super excitedly part of the Bellevue Community building the future in Washington. And I would say that there is lots of work to be done in order to successfully serve enterprise customers here in Frontier.

For us as users, it has again, pushed the productivity five x, which means I think there’s something here that’s like a durable pattern around removing the human from the loop and figuring out ways to trust the output.

Which means that often over the agent trajectory, I realize the bits that we’re missing, which is why I find I need to have this synchronous interaction.

14 / evaluation

The tech jet tracker and the quality score are pretty interesting because this is basically a tiny little scaffold, like a markdown table, which is a hook for Codex to review all the business logic that we have defined in the app, assess how it matches all these documented guardrails and propose follow up work for itself.

Yeah, and I think success for the way we are [01:08:00] operating here means the model gets better taste because we can point the way there and none of the things we have built actively degrade Asian performance.

16 / preference

If you think that code is context, code is prompts, it’s better from the agent behavior perspective to be able to look in a package in directory X, Y, Z, and it not to have to page so [00:40:00] deeply into directory if you C, because they have the same structure, use the same language, they have the same patterns internally.

17 / prediction

We want AI to be deployed widely, to do economically valuable work, then we need to find ways for them to naturally collaborate with humans, which means collaboration tooling, I think, is an interesting space to explore.

10 times slower than I would be. But because we paid that cost, we ended up getting to something much more productive than any one engineer could be because we built the tools, the assembly station for the agent to do the whole thing.

19 / evaluation

Fundamentally, software is made more flexible when it’s able to adapt to the environment in which it is deployed, which means that things like linear or GitHub even are specified within the spec, but not required pieces of it.
