The era of simple code completion is over. In this episode, Michael Grinich (CEO & Founder of WorkOS) sits down with Matt McClernan, CEO of Augment Code, at the HumanX conference to discuss the shift from "human-in-the-loop" coding to agentic workflows.

They dive into the "context challenge"—why generic LLMs struggle with proprietary enterprise codebases—and how Augment’s proprietary Context Engine allows AI to understand architecture and dependencies across hundreds of thousands of files. Matt also shares a surprising look at how non-tech enterprises (including a major furniture company) are leading the charge in adopting AI agents.

Key Topics Covered:
• The evolution from code completion to autonomous agents.
• Why "Context" is the most critical factor for AI code quality.
• The shift in hiring: Why "judgment" is becoming the #1 skill for software engineers.
• The Jevons Paradox in software: Why more AI productivity leads to more engineering roles.
