Join us in the journey.

Software development is a true craft, and one worthy of mastery.

It requires taste to build great products. Architectural understanding to build systems that can stand tall; Good handling of tradeoffs, be it UX flexibility vs simplicity, platform cost vs latency, or investing in a foundation vs shipping the next feature. It’s a complicated, ever-changing and massively rewarding line of work.

But software development is currently built around the wrong asset - code.

From the time we left punch cards behind, code sat at the heart of software development, and the tools formed around it. They focus on nurturing an implementation, but neglect to preserve the intent behind it.

Now, agents are commoditizing coding… but they’re not ending the craft of software development. It remains a domain to master and perfect, and an incredible source of value and satisfaction.

However, software development cannot continue as it is. It needs to transform, growing to revolve around intent and taste, not code. It needs to increase its ambition, being bigger and smarter systems. It needs to broaden, welcoming new developers to the scene, while turning 10x engineers into 1000x ones.

This is why we started Tessl. To help shape what AI Native software development looks like. To provide the tools to develop software in this context-centric world. To power the next step in the evolution of our profession.

We don’t think shaping the future of software development is something one company does alone. It’s something the community figures out together. We are committed to powering open software and context, and invest heavily in the AI Native Developer community.

If you’re building with agents and want to help our profession grow, we’d love to build alongside you.

Yours,

Guy Podjarny
