Coding agents is what I’m talking about, they are also an old idea, everything is an old idea, what is new and a major step change is the realized capability of them in December 2025.

You are the first person I've ever heard call Dec 2025 a "major step change" moment in AI. And I've been following this space since BERT.

  • No, I’m saying AS OF Dec 2025. 2025 itself being a step change in that coding agent adoption has undergone a step change as a result of model quality and agent interface being good enough.

    • Understood, but I still think you're exaggerating. Tool use is a 2024 thing, and progress on model quality this year has been downright vomit-inducing (looking at you, OpenAI...)
