Nathan Lambert, AI researcher at Interconnects.ai, sketches how agents and Claude Code reshape engineering workflows. Jasmine Sun, journalist at Jasmi.news, shares hands-on experiments with AI tooling and mainstream adoption stories. They riff on vibe-coding, agent orchestration, local models, automating research tasks, and playful prompts imagining apps for public figures.

Episode notes
Parallel Sub-Agents Change Thinking
- Agents and sub-agents change how people think by enabling parallel workflows and freeing cognitive load.
- Nathan says mobilizing many sub-agents lets you empty your head and offload parallel tasks rapidly.
Treat Specs As Primary Code
- Document and maintain clear specifications because most work will shift to maintaining specs for complex systems.
- Use reproducible experiment logs and high-level README-style docs to keep agents reliable over time.
Provide Clear Style Guides To Models
- Give models clear, testable specifications and style guides to improve outputs for research and writing tasks.
- Use prompt chaining or a small feedback loop to reduce cycles and speed progress.
