Comment on If an AI agent can't figure out how your API works, neither can your usersparent

There are lots of things that neither the code nor the docs cover, so I suspect that's not quite possible, yet.

For example, if you're deploying a Postgres proxy, it will have a TCP timeout setting that you can tweak. Neither the docs nor the code will tell you what the value should be set to though.

Your engineers might know, because they have seen your internal network fail dozens of times and have a good intuition about it.

Software complexity has a wide range. If you're thinking of simple things like Sendgrid, Twilio or Stripe APIs, sure, an agent can easily write some boilerplate. But I think in certain sectors, we would need to attach some more inputs to the model that we currently don't have to get it to a good spot.
