I guess we all know and „love“ how every five minutes, some breathless hipster influencer posts „This changes everything!!!“ to every new x.y.1 AI bubble increment.
But honestly? This here really is something.
I can vividly imagine how in a not too far future, there will only be two types of product companies: those that work like this, and those that don’t — and vanish.
Edit: To provide a less breathless take myself:
What I can very realistically imagine is that just like today sane and level-headed startups go „let’s first set up some decent infrastructure-as-code, a continuous delivery pipeline, and a solid testing framework, and then start building the product for good“, in the future sane and level-headed startups will go „let’s first set up some decent infrastructure-as-code, a continuous delivery pipeline, a solid testing framework, and a Ramp-style background agent — and then start building the product for good“.
Yeah I feel somewhat the same way. This looks like some serious engineering effort went into it, and it looks like there should be a way to measure its impact on developer productivity and quality of output. I'm a bit hesitant considering finance is not an industry you want to introduce security problems in, but nonetheless will be a good test of these tools.
If it really does work I expect there will be many paid and open source variants that other companies can adopt into their workflows. So I'll patiently wait for the outcomes before trying something like this, but I'm glad someone is.
