HankYeomans · x · 2026-09-18
Sourcegraph CEO sqs explained Amp's philosophy: get simple primitives right (threads, orbs, runners) and let the models use them—no tricks, no "must-have" skill stacks—so Amp improves automatically as models improve. A detailed user review in the quote tweet says after trying many agent orchestrators, Amp's simplicity is the first multi-agent setup that feels genuinely useful, praising ephemeral but easy-to-use orbs and consistent setup.
