Software company where Mihail Eric leads AI, using coding agents for shipping and incident response.
Stanford lecturer Mihail Eric walks through his Modern Software Developer syllabus, which trains engineers to ship software and debug outages with coding agents rather than treat AI as autocomplete. He also shares which parts of the curriculum survived contact with his own AI team at Monaco.
With coding agents able to finish last year's homework in a single prompt, Stanford's CS146S now requires students to learn an unfamiliar open-source repo, propose a change, and defend the patch to the maintainer who might merge it. Instructor Mihail Eric, who also leads AI at Monaco, walks through the syllabus and explains how his team decides which agent tooling to build versus buy, including on-call agents wired into Datadog and GitHub.
