I think that every engineer is going to
00:00:01
have a hundred agents. Everything that's
00:00:03
too big, too heavy, takes too long,
00:00:06
those ideas are all gone.
00:00:07
>> You're reduced to creativity. That's
00:00:08
right. What can you come up with?
00:00:10
>> Exactly. Now, the question is, how do
00:00:11
you work with these agents? Well, it's
00:00:13
just a new way of doing computer
00:00:14
programming. In the past, we code. In
00:00:17
the future, we're going to write ideas,
00:00:19
architectures, specifications.
00:00:21
We're going to organize teams. We're
00:00:23
going to help them define how to
00:00:25
evaluate the definition of good versus
00:00:27
bad. What does it look like when
00:00:28
something is a great outcome? How to
00:00:30
iterate with you? How to brainstorm.
