Chats with Kent C. Dodds

Description

Kent talks with **Rhys Sullivan** about building **Executor** and thinking like a product engineer in the AI-agent era: how to design the right **primitives**, why agent experience is becoming its own product surface, and how to keep quality high when shipping has never been easier. They cover **MCP**, code mode, approvals, workspace scoping, docs and APIs as user experience, and why slowing down can still be the right move even when agents make speed feel free.
