And I actually hadn't seen that Brex piece so thanks for sharing!!

use mastra, get acquired!

LOL thanks swyx. Yeah we realized although we _could_ fight that war again...it would be better for everyone if we didn't...

Re: lessons from coding agents, we're building some of the key abstractions like sandboxes, filesystem, skills/knowledge as Mastra primitives in over the next month.

For any agent you're shipped to production though you probably want a harness that's open-source so you more fully control / can customize the experience.

I think that’s fair, totally, but I also think a Skill would be considered a primitive in and of itself by Anthropic. So to me it’s still wrapping an open primitive. Anyway, trade offs.

The old school open source community would get heartburn reading this but my has the world changed.

I mean we're framework guys so I would agree!

Thanks! And of course hope you try Mastra out when you do.

Thanks! That's a lot of why we built Mastra. We wanted something that felt like it was made for us.

You should use whatever framework you feel like has the best DX / fits your stack best!

We're TypeScript-first, TypeScript-only so a lot of the teams who use us are full-stack TypeScript devs and want an agent framework that feels TS-native, easy to use, and feature-complete.

Thanks, great to hear!

There's the normal stuff you'd expect -- we're all Opus-pilled, use Claude Code, a PR review bot etc. But it's been especially helpful with highly templatized code like our storage adapters, we already have 10-15 working examples which makes the n+1st adapter almost trivial to write.

interesting idea, this benchmark maps fairly closely to the types of output I typically ask LLMs to generate for me day-to-day

ayy great to hear!
