Navigating Uncharted Waters: Coding Agents & Language Evolution
You need to be signed in to add a collection
As AI agents become increasingly integrated into software development, we find ourselves facing questions about how our programming languages and tools should evolve, in order to make coding agents and ourselves more productive. This talk breaks down coding agents into distinct axes (instructions, tools, and runtimes) and discusses practical solutions (AGENTS.md, runtime introspection, etc) to improve both developer and agentic experiences, whether you're using AI tools daily or building developer tooling.
