Inside the grind: The SF startup racing to build an AI software engineerkept by eddie • mar 26Cognition CEO Scott Wu argues AI coding agents like Devin will expand software creation rather than eliminate engineering jobs despite industry layoffs and competition.AboutCognition · Scott Wu · Claude Code · Codex · Cursor · DevinFiled#ai-coding#culture#developer-tools#enterprise#startupsRelatedAsync Coding Agents "From Scratch"A developer demonstrates how to build a custom async coding agent by combining Slack, Modal, GitHub, and Claude Code/Codex headless mode, arguing this makes cloud coding agents like Devin undifferentiated.also on Cognition, Devin, Codex, Claude Code, #ai-coding, #developer-toolsIntroducing FrontierCodeCognition's FrontierCode benchmark measures code mergeability, finding even top models like Claude Opus 4.8 score only 13.4% on its hardest 50 tasks.also on Cognition, Devin, #ai-coding, #developer-toolsState of Memory in Agent Harness (via @mem0ai)Agent harnesses like Cursor, Devin, Claude Code, and Codex are increasingly handling context, tool orchestration, and memory management for AI applications.also on Devin, Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, #ai-coding, #developer-toolsThe Evolution of the Agent Harness - by Dan McAteerThe article argues that as AI models internalize agent harness capabilities, the remaining harness evolves into an interface for managing scarce human attention rather than directing model behavior.also on Devin, Cursor, Claude Code, #ai-coding, #developer-tools
