DHH on Lex Fridman: Nov 2024 split coding into two universes, agentic coding is transformative
zakkohane · x · 2026-09-18
Zach Holman highlights DHH's Lex Fridman conversation on agentic coding. DHH calls November 2024 the cleavage plane between two universes: human-inspected computer-generated code vs describe-the-goal full code generation. He argues decades of code from thousands of corporate programmers was already sloppy, and remains nuanced. Both this episode and his previous one 13 months ago are recommended to see how his views evolved.
