I find the value of someone steering an AI session to be practically nil for nearly everything. Nobody wonders out loud how a senior developer arrives at the result he does without an AI; they care that his deliverable is high quality and meets whatever standard/requirement exists.

So I'm not sure why people going "chop, chop" and "nah make it more red and bigger" is a useful signal of much of anything.

No, the future is a complex "gate" that checks, weighs and measures everything before it gets committed --- a local (or remote) "CI" but... more granular and far more specific and turned to the needs of the project you work on.

I think the issue that many may not want to think about is, how do we promote/reward/fire developers in the AI assisted programming age. As part of code reviews, I think it will be second nature to ask "how did you arrive at the code".

Hi! I work at Entire. We actually have another feature that we announced called Trails which indicates Confidence, Risk, Drift of code changes to give the maintainer more confidence that the code is high quality.

Each of those signals -- confidence, risk, drift are determined by a workflow file that the maintainer can create.

And trails continuously evaluate every time a change is made.

So that's exactly what we're doing..a gate that checks and weighs and measure everything before it gets committed.

The point of us capturing the agent sessions is so we can do more things with it..like adding "gates" that verify quality!
