Coding Agents Are Becoming a Managed Workforce Inside Conductor

Conductor CEO and co-founder Charlie Holtz argues that AI coding tools should be managed more like a team of workers than used as autocomplete inside an IDE. In a demo of how he uses Conductor to build Conductor, Holtz shows a workflow built around starting multiple agent workspaces, reviewing their pull requests, and merging only the work that passes human judgment. He says the shift makes prompts, architecture, review discipline, and “slop-free” parts of the codebase more important as hand-written code becomes less central.
