[memset]

I work at Ramp and have always been on the “luddite” side of AI code tools. I use them but usually I’m not that impressed and a curmudgeon when I see folks ask Claude to debug something instead of just reading the code. I’m just an old(er) neckbeard at heart.

But. This tool is scarily good. I’m seeing it “1-shot” features in a fairly sizable code base and fixes with better code and accuracy than me.

An important point here is that it isnt doing a 1-shot implementation, it is iteratively solving a problem over multiple iterations, with a closed feedback loop.

Create the right agentic feedback loop and a reasoning model can perform far better through iteration than its first 1-shot attempt.

This is very human. How much code can you reliable write without any feedback? Very little. We iterate, guided by feedback (compiler, linter, executing and exploring)

These Xmas there have been a lot of converted programmers after having some free time and playing with things like Codex, Claude Code, AMP...

This basically sums up where we're at. Undeniably useful but careful in approach.
