I asked him to take us through the syllabus, then tell us which parts survived contact with his own engineering team.
What happened
In an interview with swyx, Stanford instructor and Monaco AI lead Mihail Eric explains how he is updating the CS146S course and applying coding agents at work. The course now includes open-source contributions reviewed by project maintainers, while Monaco built agent workspaces to run its product, reproduce failures, and test patches. Eric describes the curriculum as a practitioner’s course for applying software engineering principles in production.
