@PhilippSpiess @OpenAI Obligatory official congrats!

We fine-tuned a small model to convert natural language into Sourcegraph search queries in under 400 ms. Skip the DSL, just describe what you need.

What's new in Sourcegraph, and no, we're not fooling around.

1/4) Query assist: search code in natural language

Great overview of the wild times we’re living through.

This week we celebrated @OpenClaw Conf in Vienna. 🔥

One thought stuck with me. We're entering a world where custom software is normal.

Everyone has their own insta-coder, their own personal appstore.

Soon software will exist on the fly, only when you need it. Just for one moment. Then it's gone. Personalized, disposable, one-shot. 🤯

Code can now be autogenerated.

So if code is "no longer worth anything" (hyperbole speaking) and you can auto-build any idea into existence (slop gods be kind):

What is the future of software development – especially for founders?

I made a video on this. Spoilers: we had the working title: "Software Development is f**d"

This video is maybe more questions than answers – especially for SaaS founders.

But I also cover POVs of mine:
Eg why GitHub is obsolete, why open source might actually be dead soon, the Mexican standoff between designers/engineers/PMs, why prompt injection could be bigger than SQL injection, and what I'd actually do as a SaaS founder right now.

But there is also a paradox in all of this:
Now might be the most exciting time to build software. Ever. 🦾

Thanks as always for watching.

Likes, shares, subscribes, goat slaugthering, and any other algo magic you can throw at this: deeply appreciated.

Trying to build this YouTube channel up and your support genuinely helps. Link to the channel in the reply ❤️

It’ll be interesting to see how software engineering collaboration evolves in 2026.

[Philipp Spiess @PhilippSpiess]

Wrote about software collaboration in the age of AI agents and why I built AgentLogs in the past few weeks.

Some quotes:

- “GitHub is dying”
- “Nobody knows where this is heading”
- “It's time to really rethink best practices”

@PhilippSpiess What a timing! Global ideas convergence

[Philipp Spiess @PhilippSpiess]

This is great, been thinking about the same problem space recently and will open-source my stuff soon: https://t.co/eMAlSEdrxk

@thorstenball Haha, it’s close

Finding the line between "too eager" and "too chill" for Amp's prompt autocomplete.

Available behind the setting now: "amp.experimental.promptAutocompleteMode": "word-based"

[Valery Bugakov @valerybugakov]

It's time to give it a try!

[Quinn Slack @sqs]

We made Amp Free.

It's powered by great tokens and tasteful ads.

Agentic coding is now free for everyone.

[Valery Bugakov @valerybugakov]

Amp Tab suggestions come in streaks. Now you can actually see them stream in.

The footer updates live ("1 more suggestion" → "22 more suggestions") as new ones load behind the scenes.

Try it: "https://t.co/oDtWPoWPIm.experimental.showHotStreakProgress": true

[Karl Victor Clement @karlclement]

It’s official: the Amp TypeScript SDK is here.

I’ve been working on it for the last few weeks now, and it feels amazing to share it with everyone.

[Valery Bugakov @valerybugakov]

@thorstenball Oh, I know that feeling. Hope you recover soon!

[Valery Bugakov @valerybugakov]

@jhicks154 We’re debating this internally. Focus matters with limited resources. No commitments yet.

[Valery Bugakov @valerybugakov]

Experimenting with an "Autopilot" mode for Amp Tab.
It keeps requesting + accepting suggestions until it's interrupted or runs out of ideas.

After the first accept, hit ⌥ + Shift + Tab to hand control over to Autopilot. The very basic demo:
