Stanford's Agent-First Coding Class

🔥 What happened Stanford's CS146S now makes students patch real open-source repos and defend their diffs to maintainers. Mihail Eric folded coding agents straight into the syllabus. Monaco buys tools but builds its own agent workspaces. 💡 Why it matters Homework is dead; merge decisions are the new exam. Junior engineers must read diffs, not type them. Monaco hands an on-call agent Datadog and GitHub access, and code review becomes the bottleneck once generation outpaces it. ⚡ Our take Watching agents isn't a strategy. The real rule: buy to learn, build to keep — and review is the new bottleneck.
