Obligatory https://youtu.be/3t6L-FlfeaI

Google operates at such a scale with a wide surface area of serious production considerations that even “ergonomic” solutions internally feel extremely heavyweight externally.

The author’s core insight is to remove the blackboard from source control. Another insight I’ve found is to compact the agent state log. I typically do this by having plans and implementation docs written at commit time and checked into .docs/. This separates the activity communication stream from codified documentation. You can then “compact” the state log by just keeping the last N lines.

I have to say, when I first heard about Origin, I was skeptical. But now I do believe that the team behind it is capable of pulling it off and shipping something truly incredible.

This is one of the best technical articles I’ve read. And I came away a lot more knowledgable about a technology I have used daily for over a decade and consider myself adept at. Kudos to the author.

This is exactly why I built https://github.com/andonimichael/arxitect . I’ve found that agents by default produce tactical but brittle software. But if you teach agents to prioritize software architecture and design patterns, their code structure becomes much much better. Additionally, better structured code becomes more token efficient, requires less context to make changes, and coding agents become more accurate.

> Larger composition, though, starts to run into typical software design problems

I've been seeing the same thing. Where agents are great solving the immediate task, but as changes compound they run into software & architectural design problems. I created https://github.com/andonimichael/arxitect to help at least have coding agents self reflect on their software design. But I really like your approach to self-modification and improving the agent itself instead of just teaching it another skill in it's context.

I can’t imagine that will stay the case though. I built https://github.com/andonimichael/arxitect as a first step to using agentic coding in a more production ecosystem. Agents will be able to write useful (and high quality) software over time, their training has just under-prioritized code quality thus far

Do you take any measures to prevent link hallucination? And content grounding / attribution verification?

Check out the Sniper in Mahwah blog. Most of this space is proprietary, but the author uncovers a lot of the landscape from public records.

Wow what a great tool! Intuitive and clean interface with realistic default equity investments/option pools. Also I love to see more and more svelte projects popping up. Really exciting seeing its growing adoption :)
