The CEO of Every was on Lenny's podcast recently talking about this "compound engineering" idea they have at their startup: https://youtu.be/crMrVozp_h8?si=O8Ahy_e2cBXuKXPq&t=2489

(Full disclosure, they use and talk about the agent I'm building)

Why is it always that the companies who seem the "furthest ahead" in adopting AI into their engineering workflows are also the ones building the most simple, boring products? Also, why is it always the CEOs on these podcasts talking about the AI software engineering workflows? Why don't they bring on the actual engineers?

The CEO/co-founder needs to be the hype man, it's a startup, they are only looking for more money, the AI hype is the buzzword for investors' money right now.

It's just the herd following the herd...

But what value does it bring to someone who might listen?
