Agentic engineering is quickly becoming one of the most important shifts in software development.In this episode, I sit down with Scott Breitenother, Co-Founder & CEO of Kilo Code, to discuss why individual coding assistants won't drive the future of software development, but by autonomous AI agents capable of planning, building, testing, and shipping software.Scott shares the journey from building and selling Brooklyn Data Company to launching Kilo, an open-source agentic engineering platform designed to help developers become dramatically more productive in the AI era.We discussed product-market fit, engineering adoption, the realities of competing with Cursor, Copilot, and Claude Code, and what engineering leaders should be thinking about as AI fundamentally changes how software teams operate.If you're a founder, engineering leader, developer, or simply interested in the future of AI-powered software development, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
