Focus: Agents for Everyone
Date: November 3, 2026
Duration: 35:00
Summary: Latent Space interviews Warp CEO Zach Lloyd about software factories, Slack-to-pull-request workflows, cost, throughput, quality and changing engineering roles. The exact Apple episode identity and 35-minute runtime are verified against the show’s current feed, while the complete timecoded transcript preserves vendor claims as attributed statements.
Why it matters: Engineering leaders can turn the interview into a measurement plan: define one factory workflow, record cost per accepted change, review burden and defect escape, and compare it with the existing process before expanding autonomy.
