we are going to need up our own human orchestration as much as we're upping our agent orchestration:
My take 24 hours after Fable 5:
Your organization will likely not scale with the exponential curve of AI.
I'l just come out to say: This should be a wakeup call for engineering teams.
Set up your cloud software factories. Now.
Models can now fix impossible bugs, UI-test the hardest flows, writing extremely good code, etc. I have't opened Datadog manually as far as I can remember.
AI should be the first-line defense for bugs and feedback. Humans should only look at PRs after an AI has already reviewed it. AI should generate screen recordings of any PR before a human eye even reaches it. The agent should just prompt itself most of the time.
Ex. (pictured) our ui feedback channel manages itself, creates tickets, assigns itself automatically
You might also be worried about cost. Anthropic, OpenAI, and other labs will likely continue to put out bigger and more expensive models. But, we will also continue to get more capable small models. Not everything will need the smartest models. It's about having the organizational harness in place to continue taking advantage of this rising tide.
Moreover, if you use Devin, we've already optimized our harness a bit, and Fable is actually only ~40% more expensive in practice (vs the 2x people assume). I'm honestly pleasantly surprised - it might be higher ROI than you think.
Anyway, if you take anything away, engineers shouldn't be manually picking up tickets, humans shouldn't be digging into logs themselves, rethink what you do with your time that shouldn't just be an AI. We need to rethink what humans spend their time going.
