I agree that there’s a lot of ambiguity and tacit information that goes into building code. I wonder if that won’t change directly as a result of wanting to get more value out of agentic AI coders.
> Sure, if you write down a summary of each and every meeting you've attended for the past 12 months, as well as attach your entire company confluence, into the prompt, perhaps then the LLM can design the right architecture. But is that realistic?
I think it is definitely realistic. Zoom and Confluence already have AI integrations. To me it doesn’t seem long before these tools and more become more deeply MCPified, with their data and interfaces made available to the next generation of AI coders. “I’m going to implement function X with this specific approach based on your conversation with Bob last week.”
It strikes me that remote first companies may be at an advantage here as they’re already likely to have written artifacts of decisions and conversations, which can then provide more context to AI assistants.
