by now, most people should be aware that we're in
state of agentic coding #11: the curiosity test, lisp, and labs that can't fail
Armin Ronacher and Ben Vinegar had me on State of Agentic Coding to talk about the curiosity test, DHH coming around, durable agents, a Lisp you program by talking to it, and why the labs cannot afford to fail.
