Stop Being a Coder. Start Being an AI Boss.

About this episode

The episode discusses the evolution of developer roles in the age of AI and the shift from coding to orchestrating multiple AI agents.

Most developers are still coding in the past. While the world is obsessed with AI autocomplete, a new breed of YC founders is building a future where one developer manages ten AI agents in parallel. In this episode, I sit down with Kiet, co-founder of Superset (YC P26), to discuss the massive shift from writing code to orchestrating swarms of agents. We dive into why traditional IDEs like Cursor are failing the agentic era and how "worktrees" are the secret to scaling your output. What you will learn: Why the role of a developer has shifted from "Writer" to "Editor" to "Orchestrator." The technical limitations of current IDEs when running multiple agents. How to use Git worktrees to give every AI agent its own isolated environment. The future of "Intent" and how tools like Linear will integrate directly into the code. Why "human-in-the-loop" is the current meta, and where it goes next. 📌 Watch now and subscribe for more smart, fast, founder-first interviews.
