AI Can Write the Code. Can It Run the System? | Grepr CEO Jad Naous

a16z General Partner Martin Casado sits down with Grepr CEO Jad Naous to ask what comes after AI learns to write code: can it also debug and operate the systems that code creates? Jad shares how AI has transformed engineering inside his 10-person team, cutting some projects from six months to just 10 days. But operating production systems is a harder challenge, with unpredictable workloads, failures, and countless possible states. They discuss whether AI can learn to diagnose problems, test hypotheses, and debug systems like a human engineer. They also explore AI SREs, security, query optimization, and why the best engineers may be gaining the most leverage from coding agents.
