Chats with Kent C. Dodds
Description
Kent talks with **Dax Raad** about building [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai) in a crowded coding-agent market: why dev tools are still a consumer-style product, how fast shipping can make good products feel worse, and what "product skill" actually looks like when agents remove friction from implementation.
They dig into onboarding, progressive disclosure, listening across many user requests for the real pattern, and why slowing down can be the right move—even when competitors ship faster.
