GitHub COO Kyle Daigle discusses the new era of AI agents from the inside. He covers how he uses AI for leadership, the shift from "mega-skills" to "micro-skills," and how GitHub is navigating a 14x growth in commits. The conversation goes deep on the evolution of Copilot, the future of PRs in an agent-driven world, the challenges of scaling, and Microsoft's vision for an ambient AI operating system.
Zach Lloyd, CEO of Warp, explains why the future of software development is moving from local, interactive agents to cloud-native, collaborative systems. He discusses the flaws in the "dev box" sandbox model, the decline of traditional SaaS interfaces in favor of "just-in-time apps," and how platforms like Warp's Oz are providing the necessary orchestration, observability, and access control for teams to effectively deploy AI agents at scale.
Maggie Appleton from GitHub Next argues that current agentic tools are flawed by focusing on individual productivity, ignoring the collaborative nature of software development. She introduces ACE (Agent Collaboration Environment), a multiplayer platform designed to solve team alignment issues by integrating planning, development, and shared context in a real-time, sandboxed environment.
