I think there’s a slightly underappreciated reason coding agents work so well. It’s not just that LLMs are getting better at code. Software engineering happens to expose an unusually agent-friendly environment: repo → context terminal/tools → actions git → state + reversibility tests/CI → feedback PRs → human verification Put together, this creates a tight observe → act → verify → iterate loop. In other words, we accidentally spent decades building a pretty good agent harness around…
