## Notable Quotes

> "Imagine if we had said 10 years ago that a company who makes spaceships would buy a company who makes an IDE... and that IDE is just a fork of Microsoft's IDE."

> "The problem with skills is that now everyone wants to have a skill for everything... people love having lots of skills, it gives the impression of having control, even though the information could be much more compact."

> "Between now and a year ago, for the same task I don't think quality changed much. But what really changed is the runtime - today you can tell an agent 'run until fixed' and it will actually do it."
