Much love for your work, Steve. On behalf of

, this post doesn't match the state of agentic coding at our company. Over 40K SWEs use agentic coding weekly here. Googlers have access to our own versions of

,

, custom models, skills, CLIs and MCPs for our daily work. Orchestrators, agent loops, virtual SWE teams and many other systems are actively available to folks. We'll be writing more about our stacks this year. For personal projects, many engineers actively try the same models and tools the community does - much love to Claude Code, Open Code, Conductor and others - which helps us also learn about opportunities to improve (folks can even use

's models on Vertex). Many, many of us are here on

and build our own tools in addition to make sure we're staying sharp. With so many friends working at other frontier labs and start-ups to give ourselves a baseline, Google is anything but average.
