this might be the single best timed called shot in the history of AIE. I now think about this talk almost ~daily and have direct line of sight to the nonstop onslaught of new post-IDE form factors for agentic engineering. @RealGeneKim and @Steve_Yegge really nailed this one, no notes. and they called out one of the predominant shifts in 2026 coding, in Nov 2025. i'm still shocked how -I- myself have changed opinion this dramatically in the last 3 months, because unlike appearances I'm actually not an early adopter of things personally (although I serve early adopters for a living). So by the time -I, a perennially left-of-mid-bell-curve person- have come around to the idea, then you really, really know its here. well: it's here. @Wattenberger just showed me what she and the Augment team have been cooking and yeah, this is the "ADE" or whatever three letter acronym you wanna call it. Cursor 2.0 was a toe dip. Claude folded it into their chat app. Codex formalized the Conductor patterns. Amazon Kiro went hard on Spec Driven Dev. but Intent... this feels like every good idea i've heard in code agent management rolled into one app that, very generously, does not lock you into only using Augment's inhouse coding agent. I'm in awe at all these smart people I get to talk to because yeah the future of how software is made is happening right in front of my eyes and people will ask us what it was like during this golden age for the rest of our lives.

@RealGeneKim @Steve_Yegge AND it's a sveltekit app!! first thing i called out lmao @SvelteSociety lives!!
