Ilya Razenshteyn is running informal interviews with professional software engineers, industry researchers who write code, and technical product people to understand how coding agents are really used in professional settings.

- Plan: release anonymized aggregate statistics to all participants, no companies or names
- Scope: no confidential info, specific projects, or code examples
- To participate: DM or email [email protected]
