单集简介 ...

The ever-provocative Steve Yegge joins us fresh off a vibe coding bender so productive, he wrote a book on the topic alongside award-winning author Gene Kim. Steve tells us why he believes the IDE is dead, why babysitting AI agents is more fun than coding, when vibe coding might take over the enterprise, how software devs should approach coding agents, and what it all means for society.

  • Welcome to ChangeLog and friends, a weekly talk show about babysitting AI agents.

  • Thanks as always to our partners at fly.io,

  • the public cloud built for developers who ship.

  • We love fly, you might too.

  • Learn more at fly.io.

  • Okay, let's talk.

  • Well friends, Retool Agents is here.

  • Yes, Retool has launched Retool Agents.

  • We all know LLMs, they're smart.

  • They can chat, they can reason, they can help us code,

  • they can even write the code for us.

  • But here's the thing, LLMs, they can talk, but so far, they can't act.

  • To actually execute real work in your business, they need tools.

  • And that's exactly what Retool Agents delivers.

  • Instead of building just one more chatbot out there, Retool, rethought this,

  • they give LLMs powerful,

  • specific and customized tools to automate the repetitive tasks that we're all doing.

  • Imagine this, you have to go into Stripe, you have to hunt down a chargeback.

  • You gather the evidence from your Postgres database,

  • you package it all up and you give it to your accountant.
