So the bar for accuracy and for relevance of the context you include should be quite high.

If AI builds more and more of a system, it needs to verify as well as generate, including checking its own code.Their words
If AI is building more and more of the system for you, you need to not just generate but also verify. And without that, some of the problems that we’ve talked about before with programming, with these models will just become untenable. So it’s not just for humans like you write a bug, I write a bug, find the bug for me, but it’s also being able to verify the AI’s code and check it is really important.

I think that people’s taste and creative ideas will be magnified. And it will be maybe less, a little bit, about boilerplate text editing.

Their words
I actually think this is a really, really exciting time to be building software. We remember what programming was like in 2013, 2012, whatever it was. And there was just so much more cruft and boilerplate and looking up something really gnarly. And that stuff still exists. It’s definitely not at zero. But programming today is way more fun than back then.

Their words
But I think a lot of the best engineering, the engineering we enjoy, involves tons of tiny micro decisions about what exactly you’re building, and about really hard trade-offs between speed and cost and just all the other things involved in a system.

Their words
I think that the ceiling here is really, really, really incredibly high. So I think that the best product in three to four years will just be soon much more useful than the best product today.

Their words
I think in the end, just if you stop innovating on the product, you will lose.

The programmer should stay in the driver's seat for a long time, with speed, agency and control.Their words
I think we’re really excited about a future where the programmer is in the driver’s seat for a long time. And you’ve heard us talk about this a little bit, but one that emphasizes speed and agency for the programmer and control.
