How to Get Your Org to Adopt Coding Agents (Without Shipping Garbage) — Eyal Blum, Figma
Eyal Blum from Figma explains how to get organizations to adopt coding agents without shipping poor code.
The best engineers are slowest to adopt agents because they understand systems deeply and spot errors first — the solution is not to convince them, but to provide a path to make agents safe, after which they follow along as verification improves and work becomes easier. Blum is also candid about costs: developers lose autonomy, engineers who loved coding now wait for AI output, and documents become three to four times longer without saying more. His team's solution is a convention where pull request descriptions start with a line a human wrote, followed by generated text, so readers know what matters.
