Warp launches 'Code Country' — adding $1M ARR every 7-8 days as agentic dev environment gains traction

Cheers. Bye. Next up, we got Zach from Warp coming in. Um, before we bring them in, let's tell you about Wander. Find your happy place. Book a wander with inspiring views, hotel grade amenities, dreamy beds, top tier cleaning, and 247 conc. That reminds me, I actually need myself home but better.

Writing it down in my notes. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, uh, we have our next guest, maybe. Yes. Okay, great. Let's bring them in. There we go. There we go. Second time. How you doing? I love it. This is warp. This is warp country. Warp country.

I don't understand why I'm wearing a warp themed uh cowboy hat, but maybe I'll explain. What What's new in your world? I've been uh you know filming a western basically. You can see me doing a product demo on a horse. Very cool. Because you know, why not? We we just did a uh major launch called Code Country.

theme is all about coding on warp. And we decided it'd be fun to do it. Uh with a little bit of like, hey, let let's let's show how Warp can help you wrangle your agents. So, that is why you're wearing a cowboy hat. Zach, I'm pissed off because I was with John last Friday.

uh before we literally before we got to the office and we saw these fine hats and do you remember when I was pitching you on doing hat as a merch for a company that we work with and I was the the tagline for the campaign was like I was going to I was going to pitch this to Vanta say like this is Vanta country America's Vant country but I guess you beat us to it and you did it very well so so well played it's a great concept um you need to you need to great things that that people will remember you by and I don't think people are going to forget the three of us sitting here with these hats on just talking about code country.

Yeah. So, okay, explain to me what it means to wrangle agents. I feel like I've used agents pretty reliably. Like I just this weekend I needed a new breakfast place. I kicked off chat GPT agent mode. It went off and hunted around. I got some weird ones.

I posted that uh I asked for a table that was circular and it found me a a used wooden spool uh that's used to wrap coils around and it's actually for like 50 bucks like probably the best circular round big table you can get. Um so it was thinking outside the box. It was great.

Um uh and then I've also used Claude code obviously I think of that as a aentic. We've talked to other folks in the show, but uh I saw this interesting dashboard on X where someone had some visualization of all the different agents that they'd spawned out like what does the frontier of using multi- aents look like?

What's the frontier? What does the frontier look like? Frontier look like these days around these parts. the the the situation is such if you look at um if you look at prodevelopers using agents in their daily workflow, it's um they kind of produce stuff that's not shippable a lot of the time. Uh they produce security.

Hey, you can't argue they do produce security vulnerabilities there, you know. It's like yeah, they you can ship if you're not careful, you can ship security holes. You can you get to a point where developers on your team don't even know what they're coding. It's really a mess. It's a vibe code in production right now.

And the thing that we've been focusing on is like how do you get a tighter feedback loop where you can see what an agent is doing. You can review its work as it goes. You can make sure the people on your team who are building with agents are like, you know, comprehending what they're doing.

Uh that they're code reviewing the agents code in the app. And so this is a real a real problem.

If you look at the Stack Overflow um latest Stack Overflow survey, like number one problem that developers have developing with agents is like they produce hard to debug code that they don't understand and so you end up wasting a bunch of time.

So yeah, we're just trying to help help people keep their agents uh you know uh steer them as we talk as as we say. I want to do this whole thing. Yeah. So what do you think about these here? Uh, Vibe Code cleanup specialists, people that are making a living now, going around the frontier.

Going to the frontier and cleaning up old vibe code and projects. You got to bring a sheriff into town sometimes to clean clean up some messy the messy code. That that to me is like a symptom of something gone wrong with the tooling.

If you're getting to a point where you need like a a janitor or whatever to come in, clean up clean up your code, you want you want to get the engineers on your team to be able to produce [ __ ] that that uh actually goes out to production.

I guess my my other take on on this VOD code cleanup specialist that we're seeing pop up is like I don't know there's a world where um there's there's the type of person like the ideas guy who's like I have an idea for an app and I want someone to build it for me.

Then there's the type of person like you, Jordy, who you have an idea, but then you're a Figma expert and you're going to work on design and you're going to turn over something that's really communicative in terms of the interaction design.

Then there's one layer further now with Figma make and other vibe coding solutions where you could actually turn over a full prototype that's pretty functional, but it's not really going to scale. And so maybe the Vibe Code cleanup specialist is just saying like, "Hey, I'm a really talented engineer.

I am truly an engineer. Uh I I know computer science, but I'm willing to work with the I work well with the type of people that express themselves and what they want to build as Vibe code.

And and and maybe that's an interesting pattern as opposed to the the the software engineer who likes to work with somebody who turns over a a PSD file or Figma file. I think if you look at it like that, it makes a lot more sense to me. It's like what's the new version of Mox or PRD? It's like this working app.

Uh but it's not a shippable app because it's like, you know, the the agents kind of can't do it yet. It's also where where you run into problems is like these things are amazing for the zero to one use case.

They're less good for the like I'm working at some big company that has millions of lines of code and I want to add a feature to it. And so for that you really, you know, it's like it needs to go.

You can start with like the vibe coded prototype, but you're gonna need someone to get in there who actually stands behind what they're sending up to their teammate to review. Yep. Yep. I hate to get personal partner, but can you talk re revenue? I think you guys have a pretty extreme revenue ramp.

Yeah, we're doing awesome. So, we're uh we're adding millionaire ARR every like seven, eight days, something like that, which is you don't see numbers like that around these parts very often. Certainly, this is like it's, you know, we're not not It's not a ghost town, man. It's a ghost town. It's a little gold rush.

It's a gold rush. Uh but it's pretty exciting times. Like, it's it's super fun.

the vision that we have of like building uh you know a a development tool which is for the ground up for like how do you go all the way from prompt to production that isn't like your run-of-the-mill IDE or like the 20th just like textbased CLI app but is a unique tool built to get um you know pro code out is really resonating.

It's super exciting fun time to be working on it. Well, thank you so much for taking the time to stop by the old TBPN saloon. The saloon. Yeah. Uh we'll talk to you soon. Have a great rest of your day.
