it’s absolutely insane how fast the field of software engineering is changing
soon writing code by hand will sound as ridiculous as writing assembly does today
Linear (@linear): Teams building with coding agents in Linear now ship 6.5x as much as those that don’t.
That’s one stat from a much bigger look at how teams build with AI, from analyzing real usage data in Linear.
