Most developers have access to AI coding tools. Few get meaningful leverage from them. The gap between “has Copilot installed” and “ships features 5x faster with an agent” is enormous, and it is not mainly a skill gap. There are structural reasons why agentic development fails to take root,
AI coding agents — tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot — don’t just autocomplete. They write entire features, run the tests, fix their own errors, and open pull requests. A single developer with an agent can produce what used
Over two months I used an agentic LLM — Claude Code, Anthropic’s CLI tool — to produce roughly 50,000 lines of Haskell across several projects. This was not a toy experiment. It included extracting ram from a large codebase, implementing esqueleto-postgis with full integration tests, and building Hatter,
Most startups don’t need a full-time CTO on day one. What they need is someone who can make the right technical decisions at the right time — without the overhead of a C-suite salary.
Non-technical founders face a common dilemma: they need technical leadership to build their product,
