Ilya Razensteyn says he interviewed 2 dozen serious practitioners — from frontier labs and FAANG to tiny startups — about how they use coding agents at work: which models/harnesses, how they verify correctness, effects on culture and teamwork, and good vs dangerous practices. He promises a 'boring' set of grounded observations, no sensationalism, dropping early next week.
