What comes after the IDE (Integrated Development Environment)?
In this episode of Inference, I sit down with Zach Lloyd, founder and CEO of Warp, to talk about a new category he’s coining: the Agentic Development Environment (ADE).
What does it mean for coding?
We explore why coding is shifting from keystrokes to prompts, how Warp positions itself against tools like Cursor and Claude Code, and what it means for developers when your “junior dev” is an AI agent that can already set up projects, fix bugs, and explain code line by line. Super interesting stuff!
We also touch on the risks: vibe coding that ships junk to production, the flood of bad software that might follow, and why developers still need to stay in the loop – not as code typists, but as orchestrators, reviewers, and intent-shapers.
Zach also tells me about the freshly launched Warp Code, a new interface for coding with AI.
This is a conversation about the future of developer workbenches, the end of IDE dominance, and whether ADEs will become the default way we build software. Watch it!
