Um, thank you for joining us today. Uh, as Sammy said, my name is Eric. Uh, today I get the pleasure of chatting with Simon here, uh, about coding agents.

Tests are free now, so Simon Willison lets agents prove their own code works

Simon Willison shipped a feature to his blog from his phone about thirty seconds before this interview started. Atom feeds for each content type, new icon and all.

“Right now, I write more code on my phone than I do on my laptop.”

That line comes from someone who co-created Django in 2003 and maintains hundreds of active repositories.

It listens to the whole thing.

Not a summary of the first ten minutes. The full transcript, split into the arguments the speaker actually made, in the order they made them.

Simon Willison · The Pragmatic Summit 28:20
  1. The step after "nobody writes code" is "nobody reads it"
  2. Red-green TDD, hated for a career, now costs five tokens
  3. Conformance suites turn six implementations into a spec
  4. Bad code from an agent is a decision you made
  5. The lethal trifecta, and why sandboxing beats vigilance

It checks what it's told.

Names, dates and numbers get pulled out and checked against the source and outside reporting. When something doesn't add up, you'll see it before your readers do.

Fact-checking is a Pro feature.

Checking 3 claims Verifying… 2 verified · 1 to review

  • Willison co-created Django in 2003.

    He says so himself in the talk, and outside reporting agrees.

    Transcript + 2 outside sources

  • Opus 4.6 found a 45 percent speedup on Fibonacci.

    Heads up: he says 45%, then "49% improvement" a minute later. Pick one or mention both.

    Transcript, two mentions

  • The talk was recorded one week after Opus 4.6 shipped.

    The release date lines up with the recording date.

    Outside reporting

A replay of how a check reads, using claims from a real article.

It speaks your language.

Every article comes in English and Spanish, and it's rewritten, not word-swapped, so the Spanish reads like it was written in Spanish.

How a single soft question can unlock 20–40% more comp

Most people negotiate their compensation exactly once every few years. The company across the table does it thousands of times a day. That asymmetry — not a lack of talent, not a lack of worth — is why so much money gets left behind.

Cómo una sola pregunta suave puede desbloquear un 20–40% más de compensación

La mayoría de las personas negocian su compensación exactamente una vez cada pocos años. La empresa al otro lado de la mesa lo hace miles de veces al día. Esa asimetría — no la falta de talento, ni la falta de valor — es la razón por la que se deja tanto dinero sobre la mesa.
