12TB of AI coding agent logs - what works, what fails
Three things matter for AI coding effectiveness: the tool, the codebase, the developer. When we look at the nuance of sessions, we can see patterns across all these - what works, what doesn’t, what you can control, what you can’t. I can’t fix everything for you but I’ll give you a few useful steps forward.

I’ve been coding for 25+ years and I spent the last year buried in AI coding session logs, helping real devs to improve. I’m co-founder and CEO of Cadence, which analyses terabytes of real sessions across all the coding tools to work out what actually makes AI-assisted coding effective. Previously I founded Flippa and SitePoint, and was CTO of Steppen (acquired).
