AGNTCY - Unlock agents at scale with an open Internet of Agents. Visit https://agntcy.org/ and add your support.

In this episode, GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke joins us for a deep dive into the evolution of software development — from decentralized version control to the rise of AI coding agents. With over 150 million developers on GitHub and tools like Copilot rewriting the rules of software engineering, we explore what it really means to build in an AI-native future.

Thomas shares the origin story of Copilot, how GitHub is shifting from human-to-human to human-to-agent collaboration, and why he believes natural language is becoming the universal programming language. We also cover the technical architecture behind Coding Agents, the feedback loop between developers and AI, and what it takes to scale multi-agent systems in the real world.
