In this video, we cover:
• SlopCodeBench, SWE-bench and which coding benchmarks to trust
• Token maxing, dark factories and the "Instagram phase" of AI engineering
• Why 2-4x productivity beats chasing 100x
• Pull requests, design docs and how engineers build taste now
• Dex's agentic engineering workflow: one-shots, overnight janitor bots and…
