In this episode, Quinn and Thorsten discuss Claude 4, sub-agents, background agents, and they share "hot tips" for agentic coding.

In this episode, Beyang interviews Thorsten and Quinn to unpack what has happened in the world of Amp in the last five weeks: how predictions played out, how working with agents shaped how they write code, how agents are and will influence model development, and, of course, all the things that have been shipped in Amp.

Cloudflare just published a vibe coded blog post claiming they implemented Matrix on cloudflare workers. They didn't, their post and README is AI generated and the code doesn't do any of the core parts of matrix that make it secure and interoperable. Instead it's littered with 'TODO: Check authorisation' and similar https://blog.cloudflare.com/serverless-matrix-homeserver-workers/
Look, all of these can be true: - the fosdem organisers cannot be trusted to enforce a CoC violation - they have no covid safety concept that would allow at-risk folks to attend safely - open hard- and software is the only way forward in this increasingly enshittified and enclosed software world - the list of people I’d love to meet who are attending is a mile long - building communities is more important than ever while the forces in power enshrine divide and conquer into the fabric of our societies - meeting in-person is effective to forge new bonds and deepen existing relationships - we must continue to demand better from organisers - see you on Brussels

Thorsten and Quinn talk about the future of programming and whether code will still be as valuable in the future, how maybe the GitHub contribution graph is already worthless, how LLMs can free us from the tyranny of input boxes, and how conversations with an agent might be a better record of how a code change came to be than git commit tools. They also share where it works and simply doesn't work.
Quinn and Thorsten start by sharing how reviews are still very much needed when using AI to code and how it changes the overall flow you're in when coding with an agent. They also talk about a very important question they face: how important is code search, in its current form, in the age of AI agents?
Thorsten and Quinn talk about how different agentic programming is from normal programming and how the mindset has to adapt to it. One thing they discuss is that having a higher-level architectural understanding is still very important, so that the agent can fill in the blanks. They also talk about how, surprisingly, the models are really, really good when they have inputs that a human would normally get. Most importantly, they share the realization that subscription-based pricing might make bad agentic products.
In the first episode of Raising an Agent, Quinn and Thorsten kick things off by sharing a lot of wow-moments they experienced after getting the agent at the heart of Amp into a working state. They talk about how little is actually needed to create an agent and how magical the results are when you give a model the right tools, unlimited tokens, and feedback. That might be the biggest surprise: how many previous assumptions feel outdated when you see an agent explore a codebase on its own.

One of my goals when I refreshed my blog was to publish with Hugo, but write with Obsidian. Turns out that was as simple as: ln -s ~/src/jerodsanto/net/content/posts ~/Dropbox/obsidian/Jerod/blog That’s a good start, but once I’m writing in Obsidian… I don’t exactly want to leave. There’s friction when managing various Hugo tasks from a separate terminal session. So, I had Claude Code write me an Obsidian plugin to add those features. It’s called Hugo Boss1 and I submitted it to the Obsidian community plugins list, so hopefully you’ll be able to install it from there soon2. The plugin adds a button that has four features today:
