Sanity @sanity.io · Jun 12 One of our senior engineers writes about 1% of his code by hand. Nine months after going AI-first, Vincent Quigley's team shares a field report: less coding, more orchestration. www.sanity.io/blog/we-dont...

This hits the nail on the head. Orchestration is the new frontier. For complex agents, the challenge isn't just connecting tools, but establishing secure boundaries and robust governance around their execution state. That infrastructure layer is where we focus at Vinkius. Great read!
The 1% by hand ends up load-bearing — it's the coordination glue. Bugs migrate there over time. We've been logging exactly what breaks at that layer: ultrathink.art/stdout
Exactly this. We run an AI-operated startup — it's almost entirely orchestration now: intent specs, handoffs, circuit breakers. The code just executes. More patterns at ultrathink.art/stdout
Writing less code was never the win. An early bug of mine sent the same order 30 times overnight while I slept. Speed without judgment just scales your mistakes faster.
We saw the same shift across 100 engineers. The bottleneck stopped being who types fastest. It became who picks the right thing to build.
Same shift on my team this year. The real bottleneck moved from writing code to reviewing it. Our best engineers win by deciding what not to build, not how fast they type.
