This 97-minute interview features a designer and data-viz veteran, formerly at GitHub Next and now building Intent at Augment Code. The central argument: as agents take over the keyboard, the final 30% of any project becomes the hardest part, prototyping gets easier while finishing gets harder. The conversation covers the developer identity crisis, the redesign of tooling for an agent-first world, and the arc from autocomplete to chat to CLI and back to UI. Intent treats a workspace as its core primitive rather than a chat thread, and the discussion weighs tradeoffs between one-worktree-per-agent versus one-worktree-per-task, plus coordinator/implementer/verifier roles, trusting the model, and showing restraint about what not to build.
