The next productivity leap in software engineering won’t come from engineers manually prompting more coding agents.
It comes when the work starts itself.

Developers shift from initiating every task to supervising always-on agent workflows.
@rbren_dev joined @ProductFaculty to show how we’re building toward that at OpenHands. Watch the episode:
