The founder of Ruby on Rails, DHH, was invited back by Lex for another five-hour chat. This guy has been making a living hand-coding for 20 years. He said he didn’t write a single line of code for the new Linux distribution, Omarchy—it was all done by Agents. He just reviewed the direction and judged the taste. Over the past two months, nearly 100% of the code output came from Agents. He hates the term 'agentic engineering,' but he’s already doing it. Hand-coding isn’t dead—it’s just shifted from being a 'job' to being about 'taste.' In the past, when evaluating a company, you’d first look at the engineering team and see who could build the system from scratch. Now, the first thing to check is: can the founder command Agents, make a few effective decisions in a day, and have the guts to tell the machine, 'This isn’t good enough, do it again.' A team of ten people and a team of two people with Agents might accomplish the same thing. Teams still hiring based on old structures and stacking features at the old pace aren’t just a step behind—they’re operating in a completely outdated framework. Open source has changed too. Even people who can’t write Linux can now use Agents to submit effective PRs. While the barrier to entry has dropped, judgment and taste have become rare commodities. Agents can write, but they won’t take responsibility for you. I invest in AI and Web3, so let me ask all the OPCs, product managers, engineers, and CEOs out there: are you using Agents to build products, or are you still relying on manpower to stack features?
