"I’ve found agentic coding (with Anthropic’s Claude) to be something between an x10 and x100 multiplier on what I personally can do in a software engineering vein. This seems to be significantly more than what other folks are observing, so I wanted to share some notes on how I got there in case of broader interest."

"Is it real? I believe it is. It’s always hard to measure exactly what is productivity with “lines of code” being a famously inaccurate and undesirable metric. Given that, a few qualitative observations help."

"One of the first things I did when picking up agentic coding was apply it to Vowpal Wabbit, a codebase that I know quite well. There I prepared the 9.11 release which is now broadly available. There were about 150 issues to deal with and many others that surfaced in the process of building towards a release. I have some real experience working with a team of engineers on this codebase, so I can say with some authority that these issues were hard–they lingered for a long time. I can also say that I started out not particularly familiar with the continuous integration pipeline, and I succeeded in all of this while learning how to use the coding agents in my not-particularly-abundant spare time."

"More importantly, agentic coding unlocked me in two ways. Over the last several years I’ve been time-locked with various management responsibilities, and the ‘native language’ of ML has shifted to Python which leaves me with a C-native viewpoint often paying a translation tax for routine coding. Agentic coding remediates these things—past experience with coding is highly relevant in any language and the ability to launch a command and review the outcome later is much more compatible with the sorts of interruptions which are common when you have other responsibilities."
