"Last year changed the way many of us thought about software. It certainly changed the way I did. I spent much of 2025 building, probing, and questioning how to build software, and in many more ways what I want to do."
"Pi is, in my opinion, one of the most thoughtful coding agents and agent infrastructure libraries in this space. Not because it is trying to be the loudest or the fastest, but because it is clearly built by someone who cares deeply about software quality, taste, extensibility, and design."
"One of the things I admire most about him is that he does not confuse velocity with progress. He has a strong sense for what good tools should feel like. He cares about details."
Mario Zechner's joining Earendil signifies a commitment to quality software development. The past year has reshaped perspectives on software, emphasizing the importance of human-machine interactions. The excitement surrounding AI systems is tempered by the need for coherence and craftsmanship. Zechner's work on Pi exemplifies a dedication to thoughtful design and extensibility, contrasting with the industry's rush to deliver quickly. His understanding of good tools and attention to detail are highly valued, highlighting a focus on lasting quality over mere speed.
