The Rise of the AI Coding Agent with Quinn Slack
Description
Quinn Slack, co-founder and CEO of Sourcegraph, joins Kyle to explore how AI is transforming software development and why the “AI coding agent” is becoming the center of gravity in the modern engineering stack. Quinn walks through Sourcegraph’s new tools—Cody and AMP—and explains how model-product fit, not feature checklists, is what will define winners in this fast-moving market.
They discuss why Sourcegraph made counterintuitive bets like hiding model selection and emphasizing multi-tenant design, how customer trust enables bold product choices, and why building in sync with new model capabilities is more important than chasing traditional differentiation.
We also covered Anysphere’s $900 million fundraise at a $9.9 billion valuation, Anduril’s $2.5 billion round at a $30.5 billion valuation, OpenAI’s court battle over chat log retention, and Anthropic’s launch of Claude Gov models for classified U.S. environments.
