Cleric on building an autonomous agents for software development:
Our industry is obsessed with building more tools for engineers. The problem with tools is that they require human operators. We don’t scale out like machines, we can’t process large quantities of information, and we make mistakes. Large-scale production environments simply aren’t meant for humans. We need closed-loop infrastructure, where machines operate machines. Extending existing tools with AI won’t get us there.
