AI agents show incredible promise, but have a hard time dealing with existing large-scale codebases. This talk will show examples of how LLMs fail when not given the proper tools and practical demonstrations of how pre-LLM tools already make developers superhuman. Explore a concrete set of challenges around user interfaces for AI and a vision for what superintelligent developer assistants might look like.
