Databricks co-founder Patrick Wendell sat down with OpenAI's Peter Steinberger (steipete) and thsottiaux to discuss what comes next for coding agents: moving beyond code authoring into observability, operational work, and long-running responsibilities across software and data systems.
Steipete likened coding agents to "putting on a jetpack and going 10,000 miles an hour, doing things you were never able to do before." The full conversation is available on Databricks' site.
